War of the Worlds Cast

Since the legalisation of narcotics, the U.S. has descended into a world of addiction and violence. Taking advantage of this situation, the Morthren develop a new drug called Crevulax, which creates a state of instant euphoria that calms even the most insane of criminals. Under the guise of ‘Doctor Malcolm’, Malzor secures a deal with Jonathan Laporte, C.E.O. of leading pharmaceutical company ‘Laporte Industries’, promising him a high income return in exchange for distribution across the country. Meanwhile, Kincaid runs into his old friend, Jimmy Wilson, who has fallen back on his former addiction to drugs; concerned, Kincaid takes Jimmy to one of the Laporte Rehabilitation Centers, and enrols him for treatment. However, Jimmy soon learns that something sinister is going on at the rehab clinic, with inmates being abducted at night as test subjects for one Doctor Malcolm. Jimmy tries warning Kincaid, but his friend just puts his story down to the state of his mind; however, when Jimmy then goes missing, Kincaid decides to investigate. Posing as a drug addict, Kincaid manages to steal a sample of Crevulax, which he gives to Harrison and Suzanne for analysis; the two scientists soon make a horrifying discovery: Crevulax is of alien manufacture, using tissue extracted from human brains…
