The beautiful Madame de Merteuil seeks vengeance against her ex-lover Gercourt when he becomes engaged to her young goddaughter, Cecile. Merteuil turns to her former lover, partner-in-crime and known womaniser, Valmont, to seduce Cecile and emotionally destroy her. However, Valmont is sidetracked when he visits his aunt and falls for Madame Tourvel. A virtuous, married woman, she knows his reputation but is all the more of a challenge to Valmont.
