A group of students at UC Santa Cruz digitize the archive of psychedelic pioneer and futurist Timothy Leary. They learn about Leary`s early days as a Harvard professor, his years in prison for minor drug offenses, followed by a daring prison break and his consequent life as a fugitive, chased across the globe for promoting "unauthorized mental states". Seeing neither saint nor sinner in Leary, the students discover in him a philosopher whose thoughts and predictions about mind expansion, computers and the internet, space migration and other science-fiction scenarios ring more true today than when he was alive.
