PREMISE
“Prime Target” features a brilliant young math postgraduate, Edward Brooks (played by Woodall). Who is on the verge of a major breakthrough. If he succeeds in finding a pattern in prime numbers, he will hold the key to every computer in the world. Soon, he begins to realize an unseen enemy is trying to destroy his idea before it’s even born.
