    John wanted Paul like mad; He wanted him like how lungs need air, How a starving animal needs prey; He wanted Paul more than life itself.

    Summary

    "When I'm up against the wall, Paul, you'll find I'm at my best."

    John says it right into the boom mic, cameras rolling, and Paul knows exactly what it means. The question is: is he brave enough to show up and find out if John will follow through?

    Summary

    "Once, John gave me a compliment. Once, the whole time."
    – Paul McCartney

    John pays attention for just a fraction of a second longer after he’d given Paul that one compliment, and he notices how flustered it makes him. And that’s all that John wants, really – to make Paul react – so that’s all that it takes to change everything.

    Summary

    On December ninth, 2030, Paul McCartney was found dead in his home.

    And how coincidental it was that he passed on the morning after the fiftieth anniversary of John Lennon's death.

    Having been the final remaining Beatle, and having not outlived Yoko Ono, Paul took initiative and filmed a final, grand statement to be released upon his death. He spoke about everything: starting with that fated summer in '57 at the festival in Woolton, and about all throughout his life and career as a rock legend. He would also revisit and refine his previous statements about John Lennon, who he sites as his sole muse for this documentary, finally unveiling the true nature of their complicated relationship and rumored love affair that had been continually denied, until now.

    He even spoke, at last, about what truly happened during the band's trip to India in 1968: the trip that undeniably changed the chemistry between the Beatles forever, especially between himself and Lennon.

    Because there were many things that Sir James Paul McCartney had not spoken truthfully of: both now, and then.
