equation
is hidden. While in Los Angeles for
Isaac
's funeral, Hazel realizes she's not the only one searching for his life's work, and that the
equation
's implications have potentially disastrous consequences for the extended
Severy
family, a group of dysfunctional geniuses unmoored by the sudden death of their patriarch. As agents of an enigmatic company shadow
Isaac
's favorite son--a theoretical physicist--and a long-lost cousin mysteriously reappears in Los Angeles, the
equation

hidden by
Isaac
inside one of her favorite novels, drawing her ever closer to his mathematical treasure. But when her efforts fall short, she is forced to enlist the help of those with questionable motives"--Publisher.
