Set in the affluent suburb of Blue Bay, Florida, Wild Things centers on a series of accusations, blackmail and murders triggered when high-school guidance counselor Sam Lombardo (Matt Dillon) is accused of sexually assaulting affluent student Kelly Van Ryan (Denise Richards). Kelly and another student, Suzie Toller (Neve Campbell), claim Lombardo raped them, sparking outrage and a high-profile legal battle. Public defender Kenneth Bowden (Kevin Bacon) takes the case, investigating motives that entangle the town’s power structures — including wealthy magnate Richard Forrester (Bill Murray) and his daughter Sandra.
