Bellflower follows two friends as they venture out into the world to begin their adult lives. While waiting for the world to end, their call to excitement comes unexpectedly when one of them meets a charismatic young woman and falls hard in love.

Quickly integrated into a new group of friends, they set off on a journey of betrayal, love, hate, infidelity, and extreme violence more devastating and fiery than any of their apocalyptic fantasies which in Bellflower are filled with cool customized cars, flame throwers and home bult wepons of mass destruction.
