Demi Moore gives a career-best performance as Elisabeth Sparkle, a former A-lister past her prime and suddenly fired from her fitness TV show by repellent studio head Harvey (Dennis Quaid).

She is then drawn to the opportunity presented by a mysterious new drug:THE SUBSTANCE. All it takes is one injection and she is reborn temporarily as the gorgeous, twentysomething Sue (Margaret Qualley).
