Based on a true story, EXTREME NUMBER is the story of a young refugee from Chechnya who comes to Berlin, Germany in 2004 and is thrown into prison. He enlists the help of a translator to escape and joins a terrorist group that gives him a very special order.

Real and fictional levels of the story blend together as a whole.
