River Wild 2023

Brother Gray and sister Joey meet up to go whitewater rafting on a river, along with friends Trevor, Karissa and Van. While rafting, they stop at a place for swimming, bathing and drinking. While enjoying laughs over a campfire, Van and Trevor leave the group for a short while, when Trevor suddenly shouts for help, saying that Van tripped and fell. Gray asks Trevor to call the Ranger phone, but Trevor says the phone is dead. Van whispers to Joey that Trevor grabbed her. Joey being in the medical field, diagnoses Van as suffering from a skull fracture.

The group get on the raft, believing help to be a couple of hours away. Van starts having a seizure, and Joey calms her down. Gray directs Trevor to row in a certain direction for safety’s sake, but he doesn’t and the boat is capsized for a while until flipped over again. Joey tells Gray that Trevor may have deliberately flipped the boat, and that Van told her that he attacked her - Trevor doesn’t want them to get help so that she doesn’t squeal on him.

Daylight dawns and they stop the boat to go up a hill to get a medic. Trevor says he was a felon and did three years in prison, and makes Gray promise that he wouldn’t send Trevor back to prison. They find the ranger tell him they need a chopper for a head wound. When the ranger tries to use the radio to call it in, Trevor panics and stabs him with a knife, before breaking the radio. Trevor grabs the ranger’s gun and convinces Gray to throw the ranger with his truck off a cliff, where it explodes.

The girls see the gun in Trevor’s hand, who says the ranger’s dead and demands that they row to Canada. Unable to bear the loss of blood, Van dies during the ride. Joey attracts the attention of a passer-by on a bridge, but Trevor talks his way out of it. They stop for the night, where they bury Van, and Trevor ties up the rest so they don’t escape. The man who Joey saw on the bridge sneaks up during the middle of the night and tries to take gun from Trevor and free the hostages, but is shot down by Trevor. While burying the dead man, Karissa takes his Swiss army knife without anyone else noticing.

The next day, the girls are tied and Gray alone rows the boat. Karissa uses the Swiss army knife to cut the raft, forcing the group to land and patch up the hole. Gray, while rummaging to find something to repair the raft, stuns Trevor with a spray and starts a fight but gets shot. Karissa manages to cut her rope and runs away with Joey. With Trevor pursuing them, the girls run separate ways. Trevor follows Joey, who is able to give him the slip and goes back to see her brother shot in his stomach. Gray and Joey leave on the raft just as Trevor arrives there. He finds two other rafters and kills them to get a hold of a raft, chasing Gray and Joey who enter heavy river currents, falling off their raft and running aground.

Trevor reaches them and stabs Joey in the back and tries to kill her when Gray grabs Trevor and throws him down the river onto a rock, himself drowning in the process. Meanwhile, Karissa brings a chopper to the site and rescues Joey.
