Synopsis

LOVEWRECKED: a delightful, charming teen comedy that asks the question, what would you do if you found yourself lovestruck and shipwrecked with the rock idol hunk of your dreams?

Jenny (Amanda Bynes) has worshipped rock idol Jason Masters (Chris Carmack) for as long as she can remember. Jenny takes a summer job working at Jason's favourite resort on the tropical island of St Lucius, along with her best friend Ryan (Jonathan Bennett).

Jenny is ecstatic when Jason actually does arrive for a brief stay, and she sneaks onto an exclusive cruise in order to get close to him. But during a sudden storm Jenny and Jason are tossed overboard, and on a tiny lifeboat they wash ashore on a seemingly deserted island. Help is nowhere to be found, and escape becomes impossible when Jenny accidentally destroys the lifeboat with their only flare, and since Jason hurt his leg, he's stuck on the beach as Jenny sets up camp. Jenny assures Jason that she can take care of them both and of course, she is secretly delighted at the chance to be so close to her biggest crush.

While foraging for food Jenny sees the resort and realises it's actually just a stone's throw away and they are actually on the same island - but if Jenny tells Jason, she'll lose this once in a lifetime opportunity to get to know her favourite celebrity. So instead of coming clean, Jenny allows Jason to continue to think they are desperate castaways for a few blissful days, until Jenny's arch-enemy Alexis (Jamie-Lynn Sigler) learns of the situation, then she pretends to be shipwrecked too. Jenny and Alexis are soon competing for Jason's affections in an ever-escalating series of catfights and pranks.

As the news of Jason's disappearance dominates the headlines, Jenny realises that she can't continue with the charade. She'll have to come clean, even if it means losing everything with Jason...
