Synopsis

In a future where miserable Mars colonists escape reality through the drug Can-D, the mysterious entrepreneur Palmer Eldritch returns from an interstellar voyage with a rival hallucinogen, Chew-Z, that may grant genuine godlike power over shared reality. Corporate fixer Leo Bulero and precognitive analyst Barney Mayerson are drawn into a nightmarish struggle where the boundaries between drug-induced fantasy and reality dissolve completely.
