The film examines the 1982 HoustonCon convention. Back in 1982, Star Trek's fanbase and the general public had embraced that year's Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and HoustonCon arranged for almost the entire cast of the film to attend, including William Shatner, Nichelle Nichols, George Takei, Walter Koenig, DeForest Kelly, Kirstie Alley, and producer Harve Bennett.
The event, dubbed "Ultimate Fantasy," featured a one-act play written by Walter Koenig, a laser light show, and a rotating Trek-logo-shaped stage. Nemecek attended the ill-fated convention and has spent decades investigating it.
