The Substance

Coralie Fargeat

Liam's village lives under the control of the mysterious Substance, which keeps everyone obedient and emotionless. When Liam notices strange disappearances and begins to question the system, he uncovers a dark truth: the Substance is a machine designed to control their minds. With the help of Emily, Liam rebels against the village leader, Elric, and destroys the system. But without the Substance, fear and uncertainty spread. Now Liam must guide the villagers as they struggle to rebuild and learn how to live—and choose—for themselves.
