About The Substance
The Substance is a mind-bending story about a fading celebrity named Elizabeth Sparkle, who was once a fashion diva with an attractive body. But she isn’t young anymore, and she’s feeling insecure about her looks.
That’s when she hears about a mysterious new drug called “The Substance.” This strange substance promises to make Elizabeth younger and more beautiful than ever before! Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, it is!
Elizabeth takes the Substance, and bam! A younger version of herself appears, played by actress Margaret Qualley. At first, things seem great.
But soon, Elizabeth realizes there’s a dark side to this miracle drug. She has to share her life with her younger self, one week at a time! And let’s just say, things get messy.
