Manchester, primi anni '50. Alan Turing, brillante matematico ed esperto di crittografia, viene interrogato dall'agente di polizia che lo ha arrestato per atti osceni. Turing inizia a raccontare la sua storia partendo dall'episodio di maggiore rilevanza pubblica: il periodo, durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale, in cui fu affidato a lui e ad un piccolo gruppo di cervelloni, fra cui un campione di scacchi e un'esperta di enigmistica, il compito di decrittare il codice Enigma, ideato dai Nazisti per comunicare le loro operazioni militari in forma segreta. È il primo di una serie di flashback che scandaglieranno la vita dello scienziato morto suicida a 41 anni e considerato oggi uno dei padri dell'informatica in quanto ideatore di una macchina progenitrice del computer.
