Series premiere. 2018. Documentary filmmaker Cullen Hoback sets out to demystify the origins of QAnon, understand its mechanics and search for clues that could identify Q. Traveling from the U.S. to South Africa, he gains unprecedented access to its earliest promoters, who reveal a suspicious shift in Q's behavior.
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-and-son duo who own and operate 8chan. Back in the U.S., prominent QAnons get booted from a far-right conference.
After a series of mass shootings, 8chan shuts down and Q goes dark. Jim is summoned to appear before Congress for a hearing on digital hate speech. Meanwhile, new clues suggest Trump's former strategist Steve Bannon might be involved with Q. Fred's attacks escalate as the QArmy organizes in the real world.
As the rivalry between Fred and the Watkins intensifies, 8chan is relaunched as "8kun," where Q reemerges after months of being offline. Meanwhile, ex-military and political operatives aim to tap into the power of Q. Back in Manila, Jim slaps Fred with a lawsuit, forcing him to plan a great escape.
Series finale. With the world in lockdown because of COVID-19, Q's wild theories draw in new followers and get amplified by major political figures -- all of which culminate in the siege at the U.S. Capitol. Reflecting on years of his collected evidence, Cullen draws conclusions on who is behind QAnon and its future impact.
