This prequel goes back to the farm from the first film to finally learn the story of John Rollins - the simple North Dakota farmer struggling to save his farm and hold his family together. When he places a mysterious scarecrow in his field his luck changes for the better... but it may be at the cost of his sanity.
By coincidence rather than by design the Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann makes a sensational discovery in the spring of 1943. In the year the Atom bomb was built, this substance- LSD - was to become an A-bomb of the mind. Fractions of a milligram are enough to turn our framework of time and space upside down and ultimately change the modern world. Told using previously unreleased archive footage, with interviews from principal witnesses and Hofmann himself; The Substance is a fascinating investigation into our troubled relation with LSD.
