Whatever Happened to that Weird Kid? catches up with the former child prodigy Lucien Spelman, who in the 1970s was billed as the youngest professional Classical/Flamenco guitarist in the world, and who was served a daily cocktail of humiliation by the neighborhood bullies of his youth. A documentary crew catches up with Lucien as a middle-aged man who has laid down his guitar to immerse himself in the competitive brutality of mixed martial arts. Lucien falls under the tutelage of an 'energy manipulator' he meets online, and when a seedy fight promoter allows Lucien to buy a shot at redemption both student and teacher realize that there is much more to the fight game then they anticipated, and just maybe more to themselves as well.
