Read the complete plot breakdown of Love Wrecked (2005), including all key story events, major twists, and the ending explained in detail. Discover what really happened—and what it all means.
Jennifer Taylor is a huge fan of Jason Masters, a world-famous rock star, but her efforts to meet him are constantly thwarted by her nemesis, Alexis Manetti. Hoping for another chance to meet Jason, she takes a job at his favorite Caribbean resort, joined by her best friend Ryan Howell.
She secretly sneaks aboard a party vessel that the star is on, and when he is washed overboard, she jumps in to save him. Though the two find themselves marooned in a secluded cove of a seemingly deserted island, they realize they are not far from the resort. Jennifer does not let on to Jason that they are not stranded, using the situation to try to win his heart.
Ryan secretly drives out to provide supplies and helps from the mainland. When Alexis discovers Jennifer’s ruse by following Ryan, she also pretends to be marooned with them. While Ryan has helped, he has also decided to act on his long-standing crush on Jennifer, seeking advice on asking her out.
Ryan completely transforms himself, yet when Jennifer sees him, all she cares about is Jason. He confesses he cannot stop thinking about her and kisses her, but when she protests that they are only friends, he says he is going home and drives off.
Jennifer feels bad, and after learning that the coast guard has called off the search and seeing mourning fans around the world, she tells Jason the truth about not being stranded. He becomes upset at both her and Alexis, promises to sue them both, and leaves them behind as he hitches a ride back to the resort.
When Ryan hears that a storm is going to hit the side of the island where Jennifer is, he drives out to save her. As the storm builds, she gets stuck in the car he had abandoned to look for her. Ryan returns just in time to save her as the car is about to slide over a muddy embankment. He takes Jennifer into a cave and lights a fire to keep her warm, and she realizes that he is the one who cares for her the most.
After the storm passes, Jenny and Ryan return to the resort, where Jason and his manager tell Jennifer that they need her help to maintain the “stranded” story at a press conference. Ryan proclaims his love for her before he is thrown out the door by Jason’s bodyguard.
At the press conference, Jennifer tells everyone that her boyfriend is Ryan and that Alexis is Jason’s fiancée, then walks off with Ryan. Some time later, while performing on stage in Winnipeg, Jason, unhappy, dedicates a song to his wife, Alexis, who is standing at his side.
