Wrecked

A Love Letter to Whiskey meets Cast Away in an unforgettable, heart-wrenching second-chance romance about childhood sweethearts Ellie and Nate, who are reunited by fate as they unravel their painful past while relying on each other to survive in the present.

With dreams of escaping their abusive homes, they plan to leave their past behind and start a new, happier life together. Fate is unpredictable. Not every story has a happy ending, and not every love is meant to survive. And so Nate and Ellie go their own ways, never to see each other again. Until eight years later, when Nate returns home. Only this time, he is engaged to Ellie's sister. After being tasked with retrieving her wedding dress, the two take off on a trip to Brazil. Fate is uncontrollable. But when their plane goes down in the Amazon, the two must fight to survive in the jungle together, while unraveling the events of their past and exposing the truths that could tear them apart. Fate brought them together. And fate tore them apart. Will fate give them a second chance at love?
