Touch follows Martin Bohm, a widower and single father who is haunted by his inability to connect with his mute, 11-year-old son, Jake. Jake is obsessed with numbers and discarded cell phones, constantly taking them apart to rearrange their components. Martin soon discovers that Jake's obsession is not a symptom of autism, but a unique gift that allows him to perceive the hidden numerical patterns that connect every life on Earth. As Martin begins to decode these patterns with the help of a professor and expert on gifted children, Arthur DeWitt, he realizes that Jake is predicting future events and influencing the lives of strangers across the globe. Together, they embark on a journey to help these individuals, while Martin struggles to protect his son from those who wish to exploit Jake's extraordinary abilities for their own gain.
