Kelly Lanier Van Ryan played by Denise Richards

Kelly is a cold and calulating wealthy girl. She helps engineer a scheme in which she is caught lying about legendary teacher Sam Lombardo raping her. The scheme results in Sam receiving money from Kelly's family in exchange for not suing the family for the defammation of character he endured. She plans with Sam for them to split the money between themselves and Suzie Toller a witness that made up a story about Sam raping her also which made it less obvious why Kelly would make up the incident of her rape. Gettting money out of her trust fund rather than embarassing a man that rejected her was the true motive for her accusation. Kelly tries to talk Sam into getting rid of Suzie so they don't have to pay her. While she does this Sam, Kelly, and Suzie enjoy a love trist. Kelly is killed because her plans interfered with the secret agreement made between Sam Lombardo and Sgt. Ray Duquette to split all money only between themselves.

Suzie Marie Toller played by Neve Campbell

Suzie is a troubled kid that leaves a hermit like life. When Kelly Van Ryan accuses Sam Lombardo of raping her, she comes forward with a similar story to tell in court as well. When found to be lying she causes the charges against Sam to be dropped. Behind the scenes she and Kelly Van Ryan planned for Suzie to be caught lying. This lie resulted in Kelly's mother giving money to Sam Lombardo to drop the matter and not sue or embarass the Van Ryan's anymore. Sam in turn promised to split the money he won through deception with Suzie and Kelly. But there was another plan at work with Sam's other secret partner Sgt. Ray Duquette which ultimately reduced Kelly and Suzie's cut to zero.

	Sam Lombardo played by Matt Dillon Sam Lombardo is a dedicated High School Teacher and educator of the year. He enjoys discussing mature topics with his students. On one occasion he writes the words "SEX CRIMES" on a chalkboard to spark discussion. When he is accused of raping Kelly Van Ryan, his career as an educator is ended. He wins in court despite having another female student Suzie Marie Toller also claim that she too was raped. After Sam's lawyer proves them both to be liers, Sam gets a large sum of money from the Van Ryans for his agreement to not sue, talk to reporters about the incident or further embarass the Van Ryan daughter, Kelly who has hurt her reputation by being caught lying in court. The rest of the movie involves a complicated plan for money based on a deception involving Sgt Ray, Kelly Van Ryan, Suzie Toller, and Sam himself. *Check out more photos and posters of Matt Dillon
