A darkly comedic procedural built around a dying genius who uses his intellect to solve crimes while racing against his own mortality, balancing intellectual playfulness with existential dread.

Felix Winterberg is the great-great-grandson of the famous Albert Einstein and himself a recognized physics genius. Because of a deadly hereditary disease, the brilliant researcher only has a few years left - which he wants to make as labor-intensive as possible thanks to various illegal stimulants.
