Set in rural Minnesota, WRECKLESS follows Joni, a volatile, 17-year-old adrenaline junky.  Living on the margins of a dead-end town, Joni numbs grief and abandonment with reckless thrills, a toxic loyalty to her boyfriend Atlas, and a self-destructive streak that earns her a reputation she both resents and maintains. After a violent joyride, resulting in property damage and Atlas' arrest, forces her back under the guardianship of her estranged father Larry, a recovering alcoholic whose own failures have made him a ghost in her life; Joni is forced to reckon with a past she’s been trying to drown out. Joni sees Larry’s sobriety as too little, too late, while Larry recognizes his daughter’s rage as his own failures at fatherhood. Seen as a way to channel his wayward daughter, Larry registers Joni for the high-stakes American pastime of demolition derby. As father and daughter work together, awkwardly and imperfectly, old wounds seem as though they may begin to heal. Through derby, Joni finds a chance at independence, self-definition, and a different relationship to her anger: not something that destroys everything in its path, but something she can control, aim, and survive. But as Larry's failures take center stage to their healing, maintaining his hard-earned sobriety for his daughter may be too much for him to bear. WRECKLESS is a bruising coming-of-age sports film about pain passed down through generations, the cost of survival in forgotten places, and the defiant act of choosing forward motion when everything in your life has trained you to crash.
