A spoiled rich kid, a troubled teen from the wrong side of the tracks, a carefree playboy and a dogged detective find themselves all caught up in the sex crime of the century in this steamy star-studded crime thriller from the director of Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer in the sexy 1998 thriller Wild Things.

Popular and charming, student counsellor Sam Lombardo (Matt Dillon, Rumble FishArmored) is no stranger to being the focus of female attention within the moneyed cliques of Florida’s Blue Bay. His fortunes are about to change dramatically, however, when one of the wealthiest students at his high school, sultry siren Kelly Van Ryan (Denise Richards, Deep in the Valley), accuses him of rape. The charge looks sure to stick when another girl from the other end of the social spectrum, Suzie Toller (Neve Campbell, Scream), steps forward with her own allegations, but Detective Duquette (Kevin Bacon, Sleepers) smells something fishy, and the truth is as murky and dangerous as the alligator-infested swamps in the hinterlands of this affluent beach community.

Neve Campbell and Denise Richards are Wild Things
