This is a great little movie in that cheesy kinda way that only made for tv movies can be. Lucci plays Vivian Conrad, the wife of a rich business man who spends her summers sleeping with young guys who work at the country club she is a member of. Matt, who is played by a really good actor, some guy I have seen a few times, but not enough- I think he's great, is the most recent affair. They meet, Matt falls in love, they have sex (Matt's first time) and she leads him into thinking she is in love as well. She has the affair behind her husband's back (of course) but he eventually finds a love letter and makes her end it. Matt is really in love (or so he thinks), and he doesn't take the rejection well. He thinks Vivian is in love with him but is forced into ending it all by her husband. She refuses to see him, and tells him it is over for good, so he starts with his revenge...he copies one of the love letters she wrote and posts it all over her neighborhood and the country club. The husband makes sure Matt is fired from the country club, and they file a restraining order...Matt finds out his best friend had an affair with Vivian the summer before, and realizes she was indeed using him...he still loves her, yet hates her at the same time. He ends up going to the country club with a gun and killing her. Matt nearly kills himself as well, but is interrupted by his mother.

Good story, and great performances in what seems to be a very low budget film...clearly make for tv. TV movies like this are hard to find, but I really liked this one.
