Numbers are the greatest weapon in the trailer for Prime Target, a new Apple TV+ conspiracy thriller starring Leo Woodall and Quintessa Swindell.
Edward Brooks (Woodall) is a gifted mathematician searching for sequences in prime numbers. “What if numbers didn’t behave the way we assume?” Edward tells his professor (David Morrissey). What Edward doesn’t realize is that his work could be the foundation for a virtual key that opens every digital lock in the world. If this weapon gets into the wrong hands, it will lead to worldwide panic and chaos.
Because his knowledge is extremely valuable, Edward becomes the target of many nefarious organizations. Enter Taylah Sanders (Swindell), an NSA agent sent to protect Edward. As the duo works together, they soon uncover a conspiracy threatening the world’s future.
