Plot
'Bliss' follows the story of Deezy, an artist based in Los Angeles that is suffering from a terrible creative block that only seems to get worse by the minute - as do her financial problems. Deezy's manager drops her because she can't finish her newest commissioned work, and she is desperate to find the light at the end of the tunnel. Deezy is convinced by her friend Courtney and her husband Dante to try and let her inhibitions loose with alcohol, sex and drugs. Deezy tries a substance that finally breaks the loop she has into and gives her the inspiration that she craved so much. She thinks that thanks to this particular drug, she is finally going to paint her great masterpiece. Her fling-slash-almost-boyfriend, Clive, is seriously worried about her sudden change in mood. Little does Deezy know about the dangerous side effects this drug can cause. She starts to have strong hallucinations and quickly develops a brutal violence streak and an unstoppable bloodlust that will endanger everyone in her life.
