Synopsis

In a future where humanity has colonized Mars and other planets, people escape their bleak existence through a hallucinogenic drug called Can-D. When the mysterious Palmer Eldritch returns from the outer system with a new drug called Chew-Z, reality itself begins to unravel, leaving users trapped in nightmarish alternate worlds where Eldritch's grotesque presence—marked by his three stigmata—infiltrates their very consciousness. This mind-bending tale explores the nature of reality, identity, and the terrifying possibility that God might be a malevolent entity.
