Spice Trader

Peter and his friends Jemima and Patrick have spent years going out, partying, and taking recreational drugs. On one such night, Patrick offers the group a new party drug called Spice, which seems to carry unusual effects. As far as the three can tell, it causes no harm, does not create dependence, and leaves no trace in the blood. They wake the next morning with only a hangover.

Meanwhile, lawmakers are preparing a set of new measures. Among the most significant are expanded police powers to collect mobile phone metadata and a plan to phase out cash transactions. The friends must decide whether they can keep experimenting with Spice, or whether the authorities will move against them once their digital records begin to expose what they have been doing.
