In the wake of 'Spellbound' and 'Word Wars', this 'geek-umentary' gives us a peek at the eccentric, obsessive world of crossword enthusiasts. The people who solve them, and the people who make them. The creator of the New York Times crossword, Will Shortz, takes us across and down, into the mind-bending world of his die-hard fans, amongst whom we find such luminaries as Bill Clinton, Jon Stewart and Bob Dole.
