When Gail tries to revive a dying man on a golf course, she could never have guessed that she would become embroiled in the murky world of the illegal sale of personal data, or get caught up in the mysterious “numbers” saga.

Against the backdrop of a philharmonic orchestra, there are many questions to answer. Can a man retrieve his soul and find his God and salvation by trying to lead a better life? Can wrongs be cancelled by rights? Is a term in a notorious prison a sentence for life?

And can the hapless Frank, a petty crook involved in stealing data, married to the plain and charmless Doreen, a bookkeeping clerk, be jerked into action by their failures and escape to sea to find success and contentment? Or would they be trapped by the brilliant brain of a Classics scholar bent on solving the “numbers” mystery?
