Dirty deeds among the rich, poor, and generally unscrupulous have come back into style in this direct-to-video sequel to the hit Wild Things. Niles Dunlap, a wealthy but less than honest businessman, dies unexpectedly in a light plane accident, and his teenaged step-daughter, Brittney Havers (Susan Ward), figures shes a shoo-in to inherit his fortune; however, Brittney discovers that Niless will stipulates that his 40-million-dollar estate is to go to a charitable foundation unless a blood heir can be produced. Enter Maya King (Leila Arcieri), a schoolmate of Brittneys, who claims that shes Dunlaps illegitimate daughter -- according to Maya, her mother worked as a maid for the Dunlap family, and Maya was born after her mother was seduced by Niles. Meanwhile, Terence Bridge (Isaiah Washington) is an insurance investigator whose job is to hang in the balance. His employers would just as soon not pay off the two-million-dollar life insurance policy Dunlap had taken out, and Bridge is hoping to prove that the plane wreck was no accident. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
