Synopsis
Wala Kitu, a Brown University mathematics professor specializing in nothing, finds his research drawing the attention of billionaire John Sill. Sill, a would-be Bond villain, enlists Kitu to help steal a deposit of nothing from Fort Knox, intending to use it to reduce the United States to nothing. Sill seeks vengeance for the murder of his father, a witness to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., believing the country has given nothing to his community and never will.
