14-year-old Mackenzie is sent to live with her uncle in Juneau, Alaska. Coping with the recent death of her father and current absence of her mother, she begins to find sanctuary in her uncle's home. But when he crosses a line, she runs. Lost in Alaska, Mackenzie must rely upon the help of reluctant strangers for any chance at survival, including the widowed hiker Bartlett who is suffering from demons of his own. Together they reconcile their circumstances while traveling across America's last frontier. Frank Hall Green's suspenseful drama WILDLIKE features compelling performances set against the breathtaking Alaskan wilderness.

Director's Statement

Wildlike is not a story of abuse, but rather a story of recovery. Equally important to reporting the truth around female sexual abuse is what a victim does next. Silence and secrecy are far too common and instinctual. Escape, mentally and physical, is standard, and coming back, returning to one's place of innocence, is not possible. Mackenzie is but one example. Wildlike is about the relationship between the physical journeys we take and the journeys of dis- covery we all must make within ourselves. It is about people who transcend the dark hands they have been dealt and find a way to trust again. I believe that adventure and the wilderness has the power to reawaken our humanity and, if hand in hand with the right people, can help heal oneself.'
