The Movie starts with Camera panning from a grave yard to overhead bridge having our
male protagonist, Sebastian Valmont, driving in a luxury car. Later we find him lying on a sofa in
his therapist Dr. Green Baum’s office. He wants to get cured of his constant urge of intense moments
and being with girls all the time. Dr. Green tells him that this is all because of adolescence and
bad parenting can make that happen, she wanted to sell her book to him about ‘Great parenting’.
She gave him an autographed copy of her book and charged him in his bill. Sebastian started
flirting with her too, praising her legs and hugging her passionately, that’s when operator
tells Dr. Green that her daughter is on hold. Sebastian sees a picture of Doctors daughter Marci
on her table and starts praising her daughter too. After Sebastian leaves the office, Dr. Green talks
to her daughter, where Marci tells her that a guy ditched her and uploaded her pictures on
the internet. Marci also tells her that, that guy praised her legs and wanted to photograph it and
everything went out of hand. Dr. Green has just heard same sentences from Sebastian and she knew
that it was him. She runs after Sebastian and starts yelling at him. He ignores her, and pick
up another young lady from there, and leaves. Scene changes, with Katherine –Sebastian’s step
sister- sitting in her lounge having Cecile and her mother at her place. From the house
and it’s settings we can assume that Katherine and Sebastian belongs to New York’s upper class.
Cecile is a cute innocent student and from their conversation we can understand that she is a new
student. Katherine, being a popular student takes Cecile under her wing showing the intentions to
make her a good student. Sebastian enters the room, forced by his habit, he starts flirting
with Cecile, to which Katherine forbid him. When Cecile and her mother leave, Katherine
tells her cruel intentions to Sebastian that her ex- boyfriend Court Reynolds dumped Katherine
because of Cecile. Now Katherine is taking Cecile into her wing to make her sleep with boys and to
ruin her reputation. She urges Sebastian to trap her and to use her along with his friends.
Sebastian refuses by saying that he is on another mission, their new head master’s daughter Annette.
Annette is moving in with Sebastian’s aunt and there he can trap her. Both step siblings were
reading her Manifesto and knew that, Annette was a virgin with very good reputation and if she stays
like that till the school starts, then Katherine will have a competitor, this is something that
Katherine can’t stand. She bets with Sebastian that he cannot take her to bed and if he lose,
Katherine will have his 1956 Jaguar roadster, and in case Katherine loses the bet she will
sleep with Sebastian, because she knew the fact that Sebastian was obsessing over her,
since their parents got married, and she is the one he cannot take to bed.
Scene changes with having Annette and Aunt Rosemond on the screen, riding horses together and
talking about how Aunt Rosemond’s grandfather use to breed horses on his farm. That’s when Sebastian
arrives there; Aunt introduces them to each other. Sebastian in pursuit of talking to Annette alone,
asks Aunt to make cold tea for both of them. Annette and Sebastian were walking and talking
about her manifesto. Sebastian says that if she hasn’t experienced love she cannot judge it,
to which Annette replies that she cannot expect Sebastian to understand her beliefs knowing
his reputation. Turns out, that someone had already warned her about Sebastian’s reputation,
that he promises whole world to girls but ends up making out with them.
Sebastian was crossed by his fail attempts to make love to Annette
and about Annette knowing everything about Sebastian. Sebastian meets a friend, Blain,
and discusses the whole scenario. Blain told him that chances are that, Greg, Annette’s
ex- boyfriend and Blain’s present gay partner could have bad-mouthed about Sebastian.
On the other hand, Katherine see Cecile with her music teacher Ronald, who was sitting very close
to her and Katherine felt a chance to make both of them even closer. Scene shifts with Katherine and
Cecile sitting in a park, and Cecile was telling Katherine, about how her boyfriend Court Reynolds
dumped a Bulimic head case for Cecile. Cecile didn’t know that she was talking about Katherine,
Katherine is fuming, but she didn’t let her expressions change. Cecile tells her that Court
has invited her to Hamptons over the weekend, but she is scared of the boys because she hasn’t
even reached ‘first base’ with anyone. Katherine teaches her how to kiss and tells her that this
is not scary at all. Katherine wants Cecile to practice kissing with her music teacher, Ronald
to which Cecile admits that Ronald likes her a lot and often sends her love letters, to which she
hasn’t responded but she thinks about him all the time. Katherine asks Cecile to bring photo copies
of love letters to her so that she could help. Katherine also promises Cecile that she would
arrange a get together for Cecile and Ronald. Sebastian is still at Aunt’s place where he

was not feeling very comfortable with Sebastian after everything she had heard about him.
Later, Sebastian raids Blain’s place, where Greg and Blain were making love. Sebastian clicks some
pictures and he was trying to bluff Greg that how his father is going to feel upon seeing
these pictures and his whole baseball career is at stake. Greg ensured Sebastian that he hasn’t
bad mouthed about him to Annette, whom Sebastian believed, but he gave Greg another task to meet
Annette and find out who did this. Sebastian also wanted Greg to build his good image in
front of Annette. Greg succeeds in both of the tasks and he informs Sebastian that Mrs.
Caldwell – Cecile’s mother is the real culprit. Sebastian goes to Katherine to keep her in the
know of everything, where he joins Katherine in watching spy cam of Cecile’s meeting with
Ronald. The step-siblings were expecting something spicy, but Cecile leaves the
meeting when her mother calls her to check. Unable to succeed, Katherine is furious.
She plans to show Ronald’s love letters to Cecile’s mother. Sebastian also wants to take
revenge from Cecile’s mother, so he also agreed to support Katherine in her vicious plans.
Sebastian calls aunt’s house to talk to Annette. He starts chattering with her and asks her out.
Annette, who is influenced by Greg talking high about Sebastian, agrees to go out with him.

but also humiliated him out of anger and racial differences.
When Ronald was going back from Caldwell’s place, he met with Sebastian and Katharine,
they shows him a letter written from Cecile, Ronald was in cloud nine knowing that she has
good feelings for him. Sebastian and Katharine urge him to respond, to which he says that he
is afraid of Mrs. Caldwell. Step- siblings asked him to write a letter which is more
romantic then emailing or calling. They took the responsibility of delivering that letter.
After Ronald leaves, Sebastian wanted Katharine to know the consequences of doing all this. She
responded that she cannot tolerate that she seldom falls for anyone, but when she do she
got dumped because of girls like Cecile. Katharine and Sebastian calls Cecile,
Sebastian tells her that he has a letter from Ronald for Cecile but as Mrs. Caldwell doesn’t
like Sebastian either, he cannot go to give it to her. Now he persuaded Cecile to come
to his place and write a reply for Ronald. Cecile sneaks out from her home and took a cab
to Sebastian’s home. She writes a letter and hands it over to Sebastian who was clicking her
pictures. He prompts Cecile that she could be a model but she is not attractive enough. She took
the bait and started showing him her attractive postures which were not attractive enough either.
He approaches her and suddenly unbuttons her shirt and took few pictures. When she wants to go back
