Scopolamine is a drug derived from the borrachero tree in Colombia, and users call it "Devil's Breath" for what it does to the people who take it: it can wipe out short-term memory and free will while leaving someone conscious and functional enough to hand over bank cards, sign away property, or walk into an ATM on command. VICE correspondent Ryan Duffy travels to Bogota to find out how real the drug's reputation actually is, talking to street dealers, chemists, and police about a substance sold in liquid and powder form and reportedly blown into victims' faces or slipped into drinks. He meets people who describe waking up in empty apartments after helping strangers pack up their own belongings, and doctors treating patients who have no memory of the hours before. The deeper Duffy goes, the more the story shifts from urban legend to an active criminal trade with its own suppliers, dosages, and victims. The film stays close to Duffy's own unease as he gets nearer to people who use the drug rather than just talk about it.
