Edward and Taylah collaborate to “uncover the troubling conspiracy Edward is entangled in.” The trailer commences with Edward seated in a Cambridge University lecture hall, where his professor asserts that “Sir Isaac Newton initiated a revolution in mathematics,” only for Edward to dismissively retort, “Newton was mistaken.” In a subsequent meeting during office hours, the professor acknowledges, “I’ve heard from everyone that you’re exceptionally bright,” and they delve into Edward’s current endeavor, delving into “identifying patterns in prime numbers.”
In “Prime Target,” Edward queries, “What if numbers don’t conform to our expectations? What if we’re not in command?” to which his professor cryptically responds, “You must abandon this pursuit immediately.” Over time, Edward becomes aware of being surveilled and pursued. This apprehension culminates in a confrontation in a library, where Taylah emerges unexpectedly to save him. She enlightens him, saying, “You’re under scrutiny. Your research is pivotal to digital security, financial systems, military defenses, and governmental archives. Do you comprehend the significance of the power and danger you hold?” before extending her assistance.
Eventually, news of Edward’s breakthrough reaches governmental authorities. A national security officer (Martha Plimpton) evaluates the potential havoc wrought by a “key capable of unlocking every digital barrier globally,” prompting her to issue a command to “eliminate the target.” Edward and Taylah are compelled to flee, with Edward expressing his desire to “push back,” to which Taylah resolutely responds, “Let’s dismantle them entirely.”
“Prime Target” is set to debut on Apple TV+ on January 22. Stay informed about the latest updates by subscribing to PEOPLE’s daily newsletter, offering a comprehensive assortment of celebrity updates and captivating human-interest stories.
