Filmmaker Cullen Hoback sets out to demystify QAnon by tracing its mechanics, origins, and more.
Cullen travels to Manila where he meets the secretive team behind 8chan, the site where Q posts. After looking into Fred Brennan's motives for starting the site, the investigation turns to Jim and Ron Watkins, the reclusive father/son duo who own and operate 8chan. Back in the U.S., prominent QAnons get booted from a far-right conference.
An anonymous insider gives Cullen a tip suggesting 8chan may have ties to Trump's inner circle.
Jim goes before Congress for a hearing on hate speech; Cullen chases a lead that indicates Steve Bannon might be involved with Q.
The rivalry between Fred and the Watkins intensifies; 8chan is relaunched as 8kun, and Q reemerges after months of being offline; back in Manila, Jim slaps Fred with a lawsuit, forcing him to plan a great escape.
Cullen reveals the forces behind Q as conspiracies fueled by QAnon culminate in the siege of the U.S Capitol.
