Cruel Intentions -1999- -

New York City, December 1999. The millennium is looming, but inside the penthouse of Sebastian Valmont, time is stuck in an endless loop of champagne, cocaine, and casual destruction. Sebastian (28, beautiful in a ruined way) lounges in a silk robe, reading his late father’s leather-bound copy of Les Liaisons dangereuses . Across from him, his step-sister, Kathryn Merteuil (27, blonde, razor-sharp, wearing a cashmere twin-set as armor), sips a martini and smiles.

He finds her on the Brooklyn Bridge, watching the East River. It is Christmas Eve. Snow falls. cruel intentions -1999-

He laughs. “Impossible.”
