Upon acquiring a mysterious book in which the number 23 seems to take on powerful cosmic significance, a once-sane man gradually becomes obsessed with the idea that the frequently recurring number may in fact hold a deadly secret in this intense
mystery-
thriller starring
Jim Carrey and
Virginia Madsen, and directed by
Joel Schumacher.
Walter Sparrow (
Carrey) is a middle-aged dogcatcher whose wife
Agatha (
Madsen) has bestowed him with an obscure
mystery novel detailing the investigation launched by a tough-talking gumshoe named
Fingerling (also
Carrey) whose every move seems to be overshadowed by the enigmatic eponymous number. After noting a series of alarming parallels shared between the fictional detective and himself,
Walter is quickly drawn in to the story as the hard-boiled private investigator murders raven-wigged moll
Fabrizia (also
Madsen) and pins the crime on her unsuspecting lover (
Danny Huston). Back in the real world, fiction seems to merge with reality as
Walter and
Agatha's close friend
Isaac (also
Huston) begins to ingratiate himself ever deeper into the couple's relationship and
Walter begins experiencing a gruesome series of visions in which he violently murders an unfaithful
Agatha. His mind fast descending into a dark and violent whirlwind of madness,
Walter enlists the aid of
Agatha and the pair's adolescent son
Robin (
Logan Lerman) in seeking out the author of the mysterious tome and uncovering the sinister truth behind the so-called "23 enigma."
