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.

Jonita Davis The Black Cape (Medium) It’s about love, sex, drugs, Jesus, death and a romance that’s more awkward that in "Lars and the Real Girl". This hodgepodge of elements comes together in a slow-burn drama that interrogates the concepts of love and what it means to be a “good person”. Jan 29, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
