Story
Slaking a thirst for dangerous games, Kathryn challenges her stepbrother, Sebastian, to deflower their headmaster's daughter before the summer ends. If he succeeds, the prize is the chance to bed Kathryn. But if he loses, Kathryn will claim his most prized possession.
Summary
In the sultry world of elite prep schools, Kathryn Merteuil and Sebastian Valmont, stepsiblings bound by shared desire and manipulation, engage in a wicked game. Kathryn bets Sebastian that he cannot seduce Annette, their chaste headmaster's daughter, before summer's end. If she wins, she claims Sebastian's vintage Jaguar; if he succeeds, he gains the chance to possess Kathryn, the one girl he truly covets yet knows he can never have outright. Meanwhile, Cecile, an innocent new arrival whose mother enlisted Kathryn's influence, becomes unwitting pawns in their schemes. Kathryn plots with Sebastian to ruin Cecile's reputation, seeking revenge on an ex-lover who abandoned her for Cecile. As summer unfolds, these cruel intentions intertwine, promising a scandalous end to their dangerous games.
