Two ruthless step siblings (Sarah Catherine Hook and Zac Burgess) will do anything to stay on top of the Greek life hierarchy at an elite Washington, D.C. college. After a brutal hazing incident threatens the entire Panhellenic system, they’ll do whatever’s necessary to preserve their power and reputations — even seduce the daughter of the Vice President of the United States.
Adapted from the 1999 movie starring Sarah Michelle Gellar and Ryan Phillippe as wealthy teen step-siblings from Manhattan’s upper crust which in turn was adapted from the French novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses .
