The Stuff
A mysterious white, creamy substance that bubbles out of the ground is discovered by a former miner, who tastes it and finds it delicious. Marketed as "The Stuff," it quickly becomes a nationwide sensation, outselling ice cream and other desserts, with consumers craving its addictive taste. However, industrial saboteur David "Mo" Rutherford is hired by the struggling dessert industry to investigate its origins and discover its formula, leading him to uncover a conspiracy. With the help of advertising executive Nicole, former professional boxer "Chocolate Chip" Charlie, and a boy named Jason who believes The Stuff is alive, Mo discovers that The Stuff is a parasitic, sentient organism that takes over the minds and bodies of those who consume it, hollowing them out and turning them into zombie-like creatures before completely consuming them. They race to expose the truth and stop the widespread consumption of The Stuff before humanity is completely absorbed.
