Based on a true story set in 2010 - Nokturnal Bliss follows the rise and collapse of Luis and James, two young men from the suburbs who become unwilling legends in Los Angeles and Las Vegas nightlife. Told through the reflective lens of Luis, the story traces their descent from broke party addicts to underground icons-revered as gods in a world built on illusion, sex, and synthetic highs. Their world takes shape after James hatches a plan to escape debt and keep the party going, unintentionally launching them into a criminal empire that thrives beneath the strobe-lit chaos of club culture. As they chase adrenaline, money, and myth, their empire swells-and then cracks. Surrounding them is a rotating cast of women, lovers, enablers, and ghosts-each drawn into the seductive glow of their after-hours kingdom. But as the stakes rise, so does the cost: betrayals mount, loyalties fray, and love becomes collateral damage. At its heart, Nokturnal Bliss is an exploration of obsession, loyalty, and the toll of living like legends. It's the story of two men who lived for the night-until the night took everything.
