The paranoid thriller centers on Walter Sparrow (Jim Carrey), an average man who has dearly loved wife Agatha (Virginia Madsen) and teenage son Robin (Logan Lerman) and works as a dog-catcher. His perfectly ordered life starts to unravel when he gets a red-covered detective book, The Number 23, for his birthday. Walter becomes absorbed in reading the novel, and the deeper he gets into the plot, the more convinced he is that the book bears similarities to his own life. The only difference between the book and Walter’s life is that the story doesn’t have a happy ending. Walter suspects the murder to take place in reality and becomes obsessed with the idea of uncovering a mystery that drives him mad.
