Wild Things 2 is a sequel to the 1998 film, and was released directly to video and DVD. The plot centers around a wealthy young woman, Brittney (Susan Ward), a seemingly perfect high school student with a tragic past. When her millionaire stepfather, Niles Dunlap (Tony Denison) is lost in a plane crash, she is orphaned and a legal battle over his estate begins. One of Brittney's classmates, trouble-making Maya (Leila Arcieri), claims to be Dunlap's illegitimate daughter, and a DNA test seems to corroborate this claim. An insurance investigator (Isaiah Washington) smells a rat and starts to delve deeper into the case, finding a web of lies and betrayal. The film devolves into a mess of murders and seductions, until very little is left of the cast and nothing is left of sympathy for the surviving characters.
