Kelly, Sam and Suzie get to know each other.

Suzie Toller (Neve Campbell) appears in the 1998 movie Wild Things. It is a good old fashion Film Noir in living color. It is a movie with more plot twists than a Go-Go dancer's hips.

Suzie Toller at first seems to be a minor character in a strange relationship between the beautiful Kelly Van Ryan (Denise Richards) and the not too bright Sam Lombardo (Matt Dillon).

Sam once had an affair with Kelly’s mother, the very wealthy Sandra Van Ryan (Theresa Russell). Sam now works as a teacher at Kelly’s school and Kelly is infatuated with her mother’s ex-beau. Kelly throws herself at Sam and then attempts to blackmail. She loses and has to pay Sam for damages. Sam is now rich and Kelly's just lost her inheritance.

Kelly Van Ryan takes a dip in the pool.

The case is now suddenly being investigated by a federal agent Ray Duquette (Kevin Bacon) who sees some strange goings on.

Sam and Kelly despite hating each other in public are having an affair. And Suzie Toller is involved to. In fact the threesome has a ménage à trois together unknown to everyone else.

Suzie is the manipulator. She knew that Kelly wouldn’t be able to touch her inheritance as long as her mother was in the way, but the lawsuit was a way of gaining access to the funds.

Suzie is said to have an IQ of around 200 but comes from a hillbilly family, her father wrestles alligators in a pond in the front yard of the family's broken down shack.

Ray is also in on the deal, as a crooked lawman he keeps an eye on what the police are investigating.

Sam, Kelly, and Ray were all recruited and motivated by Suzie. But then Suzie doesn’t want to share the money with the people who helped her steal it.
