« The Substance: Have you ever dreamt of a better version of yourself? Younger, more beautiful, more perfect. One single injection unlocks your DNA, starting a new cellular division, that will release another version of yourself. This is the Substance. You are the matrix. Everything comes from you. Everything is you. This is simply a better version of yourself. You just have to share. One week for one and one week for the other. A perfect balance of seven days each. The one and only thing not to forget: You. Are. One. You can't escape from yourself.

Plots:
A fading celebrity takes a black-market drug: a cell-replicating substance that helps her create a younger, better version of herself.
Have you ever dreamed of a better version of yourself? You. Only better in every way. Seriously. You’ve got to try this new product. It’s called the Substance. It changed my life. It generates another you. A new, younger, more beautiful, more perfect you. And there’s only one rule: you share time. One week for you. One week for the new you. Seven days each. A perfect balance. Easy, right? If you respect the balance…what could possibly go wrong?
Elisabeth Sparkle, a fallen Hollywood idol pushing 50, sees her glittering world unravel after an agonising meeting with her TV producer. And just like that, years of contribution to the cut-throat entertainment industry went down the drain. Now, Elisabeth would do anything for another shot. Fortunately, she won’t have to sell her soul to stay in the game; Elisabeth only needs to try The Substance. After all, she has nothing to lose–if Elisabeth plays her cards right, the miraculous solution will deliver on its wild promise. However, with so much at stake, there is always a temptation to cut corners when time is short. As an empowered new version of the once-beloved star emerges, so does a haunting question: How long can a beautiful lie deceive the world?
