Love, Fate, and Self-Discovery Collide in The Map That Leads to You coming to Prime Video

From acclaimed director Lasse Hallström (Dear John, Safe Haven) comes The Map That Leads to You. The story is a sweeping romantic drama that explores love, destiny, and the courage to forge your own path. Based on the beloved novel by J.P. Monninger, the film stars Outerbanks star Madelyn Cline as Heather. Heather is a young woman on the verge of a new chapter in life, one she’s carefully planned down to the last detail.

Before diving into her future, Heather embarks on a once-in-a-lifetime journey across Europe with her closest friends. Her itinerary is clear, her goals in sight, until a chance encounter with Jack, played by Riverdale’s KJ Apa, throws everything into question. Jack is magnetic, mysterious, and unlike anyone Heather has ever met. Their instant connection leads to a whirlwind romance that takes them from the sunlit streets of Paris to the serene coasts of Italy and beyond.

As their journey unfolds, Heather finds herself torn between the comfort of the life she thought she wanted and the thrill of something unexpected. Secrets, emotional revelations, and painful choices come to light, testing their bond and forcing Heather to confront who she truly is and what she truly wants.

With a heartfelt screenplay by Vera Herbert (This Is Us) and Les Bohem (Taken), The Map That Leads to You is an emotional ride through love’s unpredictability. Supported by a strong ensemble cast including Josh Lucas, Madison Thompson, Sofia Wylie, and Orlando Norman, the film captures both the joy and vulnerability of opening yourself up to new possibilities.

Rated PG-13 and running 96 minutes, The Map That Leads to You is a romantic coming-of-age tale that will resonate with anyone who has ever stood at a crossroads, wondering whether to follow the map or their heart. The film will stream globally on Prime Video on August 20, 2025.
