Hiram Granville, a modern Leonardo, secured a lot more than athousand patents during his life time, often just ahead of others who hadalready been working the same tips. His kid John, an economics genius, hardly ever losta cent in the stock market-or some other economic deal-and was looked into forinsider trading on several occasion. Now Kitty, a documentarian; herresearcher, Mercy; and Cracker Jack, an consumer electronics whiz, are doing a film approximately the Granville clan. What they find as they research thefamily is usually madness, suicide, a apparently total seclusion, and a frighteningglimpse in what it means to peer in to the future.
