<br>
On the eve of her twenty-fifth birthday, Catherine, a troubled young
woman,<br>
has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father Robert,
once a<br>
renowned mathematician. Now, following his death, she must deal with
the<br>
aftermath, including the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire, as
well as the<br>
attentions of Hal, a former student of Robert's who hopes to find
valuable work in<br>
the 103 notebooks that he left behind.<br>
<br>
Over the long weekend that follows, a burgeoning romance and the
discovery of<br>
a mysterious notebook draw Catherine into the most difficult problem
of all:<br>
how much of her father's genius -- or madness -- will she inherit?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Character breakdown:<br>
<br>
Catherine (25) - An emotionally volatile woman who for five years has
acted<br>
as sole caregiver to an ailing father. Though intellectually dynamic,
she has<br>
allowed herself to withdraw, her tart demeanor masking an
apprehension<br>
regarding interpersonal relationships and the possibilities of
life.<br>
<br>
<br>
Robert (50s) - A widowed college professor whose mathematical skills
brought<br>
him world prominence. He is stern and precise by nature but also warm
and<br>
considerate.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Hal (28) - A former graduate student of Robert's, he is interested in
both<br>
investigating the work his professor left behind and pursuing his
affections for<br>
Catherine.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Claire (29) - Stylish and attractive, she is a bright and
successful<br>
businesswoman who nevertheless has long held an adversarial
relationship with her<br>
sister Catherine. The geographic absence from her father's immediate
world brings<br>
some guilt and a renewed desire to lend help.<br>
