The story: This is the true-life account of Hunter S. Thompson and many of the things he had done in his life while working as a freelance writer and journalist at some very important times throughout the years.
We get to see his campaigning work while running for sheriff of the town he lived in, work he had done with a few men who ran for president and how his personal life unraveled and then flourished again for a brief time.
His story is told by many people who were close to him as well as through some snippets of H Thompson himself.
We get to follow along with many aspects of his life throughout his career until his suicide in 2005.
