A Man Called Nereus (2012)

In the heart of an unforgiving world, Nereus, an autistic man with a prodigious ability to predict precise sporting outcomes, finds himself ensnared by the notorious Filaria crime family. Parallelly, Keith Taylor, a man wrestling with the demons of addiction to keep his life on track, stumbles upon Nereus. In an instant, his world is upended, and hope rekindles. Keith hatches a daring plot to whisk Nereus away to the shimmering lights of Las Vegas. However, their journey is anything but straightforward. A myriad of factions, all driven by their own ulterior motives, clamor for Nereus's extraordinary gift. Among them are the extremist spiritual sect, the Mayans, rogue DEA agents with a Vegas adventure of their own in the works, and the ominous Filaria family, trailed by their ruthless henchmen, Santo and Johnny. They employ a brutal array of methods, from bounties to meth-fueled assassins, in a relentless pursuit of the "Brain." As the chaos unfolds and the stakes rise, Keith and Nereus find an unexpected bond, a kinship born out of shared strife. As they navigate the harrowing maze of danger, Keith discovers that Nereus isn't just a savant; he's a beacon of a cause much grander, stretching beyond the confines of the fourth dimension. He unearths the secrets of Nereus's ability to bend space and time, tracing it back to its ancient roots. In the end, Keith is faced with a daunting choice: to walk the path of self-interest or to tread the one laid out for Nereus. The ensuing journey is a thrilling exploration of friendship, destiny, and the extraordinary powers that lie dormant within the ordinary.
