Roland Mathers is a brilliant physicist consumed with unraveling Einstein's Grand Unified Theory. When he develops a life-threatening, debilitating disease (ALS), Roland sacrifices his happiness on the altar of science. Loosely inspired by the life story of Steven Hawking, A Singularity of Being takes us into the mind of a genius and asks: what price would you pay to see the face of God?
