“Virgil Bliss has been a fugitive for twenty years,” reads the movie’s synopsis. “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 was co-written and directed by Joe Maggio. It was also co-written by stars Clint Jordan and Faryl Amadeus and produced by Larry Fessenden. It stars Clint Jordan, Faryl Amadeus, Juan Fernandez, and David Yow.
