Virgil Bliss has been a fugitive for twenty years. His decision to return to the scene of his original crime and finally make amends is complicated by the sudden death of his girlfriend and fellow Oxy addict, Amy, and the unexpected arrival of Amy's holy-roller sister who catches Virgil up in a web of lies and deceit. At once a dark fable of persistence, perseverance and the transformative power of love, but also a searing indictment of the American carceral system and our ongoing opioid epidemic. BLISS is the sequel to the 2001 Indie Spirit Award nominated debut feature VIRGIL BLISS and is the second installment of the VIRGIL BLISS TRILOGY. (The prequel to "Bliss" curated in 2001 is also streaming on the Slamdance Channel, "Virgil Bliss")
