Story

Walter Sparrow (Jim Carrey), a mild-mannered man who works as a dog catcher, receives a book from his wife Agatha (Virginia Madsen) on his birthday, titled The Number 23. The book describes a murder mystery weaved around the number 23, which is worked into numerical significance in various ways in the book. Sparrow begins to notice a similar pattern to the number 23 in his own life, working out numbers like birthdays, colors, hotel rooms, and other examples that eventually push him into paranoia and obsession. Sinking deeper in psychosis, Sparrow begins to dream about murdering his wife, and the lines between reality and fiction become blurred.
