Ric Weiland was part of the high school group that was interested in computers - a group that included Bill Gates and Paul Allen. He could be considered the #3 person at Microsoft. Out in high school, he had no problem living a gay lifestyle when not working. His early donations were to gay rights and HIV research, though this expanded to a wide range of charities and foundations. He also managed to personally advocate for gay rights in the corporate world. Shy with a self-declared lack of social skills, he was leery of new people, especially as his wealth grew, which turned into bouts of depression.
The story is told in various ways. There are readings from his journal, archival footage, interviews with friends and partners (including Bill Gates), and animations of his feelings. The title is from a vanity license plate Ric once had. While deliberately shoehorned into 61 minutes, it did not feel as if anything major was left out.
