The Opposite of Sex

Foul-mouthed and manipulative, Dedee Truitt (Christina Ricci) is not a typical sweet 16-year-old. After the death of her stepfather she visits her homosexual half-brother Bill (Martin Donovan). Recovering from the AIDS death of longtime companion Tom, Bill has begun dating a new partner, Matt (Ivan Sergei). After Dedee seduces Matt and claims she's pregnant by him, the couple steals $10,000 from Bill's safety deposit box and set-up a series of events that wreak havoc on Bill's life.
