Synopsis

The Amazing Randi, fierce godfather of the hyper-rational skeptics movement, invites young truth-seeker James Plath to become his personal apprentice. Years later the skeptic's apprentice stumbles upon an ancient mystery so astonishing that it challenges the core beliefs of Randi and the entire skeptical community, compelling the world's greatest minds to question the very nature of reality. Accompanying James on his paradigm popping journey are some of the most eminent thinkers of our times, such as the philosophers Simon Critchley, Daniel Dennett, Douglas Hofstadter, Raymond Smullyan, and Cornel West, the astonishment artist Paul Harris and the Beat poet Allen Ginsberg.
