About
Hayley’s a smart, charming teenage girl. Jeff’s a handsome, smooth fashion photographer. An Internet chat, a coffee shop meet-up, an impromptu fashion shoot back at Jeff’s place. Jeff thinks it’s his lucky night. He’s in for a surprise.
Hard Candy is an edge-of-your-seat psychotic thriller with a breakout performance by Ellen Page (Inception, Juno). What begins as flirtation ends in an unforgettable standoff as Hayley imposes a hard-hitting investigation on Jeff in an attempt to reveal his possibly scandalous past.
