John McAfee built one of the first commercial antivirus programs and became a tech millionaire, then spent the back half of his life turning into something closer to an outlaw folk hero. The film traces that arc from Silicon Valley success to his compound in Belize, where a murder investigation into the death of his neighbor Gregory Faull forced him to flee the country, and on through the bizarre run for U.S. president that followed. Interviews and archival news footage cover his drug experiments, his paranoia about government surveillance, and the string of legal troubles that trailed him across multiple countries. The film treats McAfee less as a villain or a genius and more as a case study in what unlimited money and a total disregard for consequences can do to one person's life. It does not resolve the central mysteries around him, including the circumstances of his eventual death in a Spanish jail cell, but it lays out the strangeness of the record plainly.
