Task
Kipkemboi, a teenaged Kenyan math genius, creates an equation to play the stock market. Trading from a cobbled-together computer and broadcasting from a mud hut, the algorithm turns out to be a success generating millions of dollars and attracting the attention of international financial kingpins, local police and the elders of his own village. When they all collide at Kipkemboi's mud hut, the resulting clash forces Kipkemboi and his girlfriend to flee as they are chased across the African countryside.
