In 2011, Zero, a bitter yet brilliant physicist, wrestles with the memory of a night twenty years earlier when his then-girlfriend publicly betrayed him at a college party. He now heads one of Brazil’s largest scientific projects, but his prickly temperament and outbursts push him toward the edge of being fired by his former college roommate and current sponsor, Sandra, who still believes in the promise of his work and defends him.
