Spides
On Syfy
A dark sci-fi thriller about alien body-snatching through a party drug, built on conspiracy, amnesia, and the violation of bodily autonomy.
Young Nora from Berlin wakes up from a coma after taking a new party drug and can no longer remember anything. When investigators Nique Navar and David Leonhart find out that numerous teenagers have disappeared as part of the spread of the party drug "Bliss", Nora begins to investigate. She uncovers an uncanny conspiracy: Aliens use the drug to use the bodies of their victims as hosts.
