The 45 minute film follows Logic through the making of the album which has a lot of contributions from guest artists, musicians and instrumentalists. Even his wife Jessica Andrea has guest vocals on several songs and skits. There is one scene where the rapper gets very emotional about the content of the album and how much love he gets from his dedicated fans.

"WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO SACRIFICE?!!!!" "EVERYTHING!!!!!" This is but one of a multitude of highly emphatic questions, and subsequent answers, being asked in the newest feature film from one of the current masters of horror, Jordan Peele ("Get Out", "Us" and "Nope").
