SYNOPSIS
“PARADISE LOST” is a tense, unsettling thriller centering around a diverse group of young adventure travelers. After a terrifying bus accident maroons them in a remote Brazilian beach town, they slowly discover that the white sand beaches and lush jungles are concealing a darker, unsettling secret…
The jungles of Brazil – present day.
A beat-up bus carrying locals and tourists dangerously navigates a winding road through the jungles of Brazil – but then careens off the side of the road and winds up dangling precariously over the side of a cliff. Everyone on board evacuates immediately and barely does so just as the old behemoth tips over the edge and crashes violently down the hill. The bus is obliterated.
A group of young twenty-something travelers on board (three Americans, two British buddies and one sexy Australian girl), now find themselves stranded in a beautiful beachfront area awaiting the next bus – a “mere” three days away.
The Americans consist of ALEX (Josh Duhamel), his sister BEA (Olivia Wilde), and her best friend AMY (Beau Garrett). The two Brits are FINN (Desmond Askew) and LIAM (Max Brown). The Aussie is PRU (Melissa George), who lucky for them all, has managed to pick up a bit of Portuguese during her world-travels.
