Los estereotipos asociados a las altas capacidades proyectan una imagen de individuos afortunados con una inteligencia superior que les convierte en genios admirados socialmente. Sin embargo, lejos del estereotipo, si su neurodivergencia no es respetada y atendida correctamente puede derivar en situaciones de riesgo. A través de testimonios en primera persona de niños, adolescentes y adultos con altas capacidades y, también, de padres y de la comunidad científica, el documental visibiliza otra realidad de las altas capacidades que, en ocasiones, deriva en abandono escolar, bullying, aislamiento o, incluso, en problemas de salud mental. Y, en la mayoría de los casos, en incomprensión social, ocultación e inadaptación al sistema educativo.
