A dark, intimate portrait of a young gay man's self-destructive spiral triggered by the return of an ex-lover, exploring desire, addiction, and the collision between ambition and compulsion.

An edgy drama about a gay teen's tumultuous decent into drugs and anonymous sex, Wrecked smashes cinematic taboos while it spins its cautionary tale. Ryan is an earnest 18-year-old trying to develop a career as an actor and getting his life on the right track. This course is quickly threatened with the sudden arrival of his sort-of ex, Daniel, who arrives at Ryan's door wanting a place to stay.
