Full Plot Details

Virgil Bliss is a man obsessed with living a normal life, finding a good job, marrying a decent woman, and building a family of his own. But as a recently paroled career thief with a hair-trigger temper and the social skills of a child, he faces distinct challenges. At the halfway house where he gets his first taste of freedom in over a decade, Virgil meets Manny Alvarez, a fiery miscreant who takes the emotionally naive Virgil under his wing and initiates him in the ways of the world. It's Manny who introduces Virgil to Ruby, an opportunistic junkie with whom Virgil falls instantly in love. As Virgil and Ruby learn to trust each other, they share their concerns: Ruby plans to win back custody of her four-year-old son and Virgil confesses the horrible and senseless crime that landed him in prison. After his release from the halfway house, Virgil finds work as a janitor and moves in with Ruby. But their attempts to adjust as a family come undone with the arrival of the psychotic Manny.

ColeSmithey.com - 7/10 by Cole SmitheyRaw independent drama with great naturalistic performances.
TV Guide - 6/10 by Ken FoxVirgil's naïveté isn't entirely believable, but his essential goodness is, thanks to a solid performance by Jordan, and that's really what makes this modern urban tragedy unusually affecting.
Hollywood Reporter - 4/10 by Frank ScheckAn overly familiar scenario is made fresh by an intelligent screenplay and gripping performances in this low-budget, video-shot, debut indie effort.

User Review - 8/10 by Jamie BLow budget, high art and realism in this film about a convict getting out after a decade. The film has an almost documentary feel to it. Virgil is my favorite anti-hero since Silence of the Lambs. The big lug tries so hard to be good, and actually follows through on it, once he's released from prison. He's a positive role model for his halfway house buddy, and love's his woman even though shes quite the wounded bird, and pecks. Virgil gets a job, has a stable residence, and is in a relationship. As he gets set up in his new life, we see glimpses of how VB wound up in prison in the first place, and in the last moments of the film find him in the same circumstances as the crime that got him put away. Will he make the same choice? Regardless, you will still root for Virgil. That's the beauty of this film. Its all about VB.
User Review - 8/10 by Larissa LWhat's called a gritty movie. Amazing performances by the lead actors playing deeply damaged people just trying to get by. Can't wait to see what else Maggio has done.
