Restless Virgins is a made-for-TV movie that depicts the real-life sex scandal that rocked Milton Academy, a prestigious prep school in Massachusetts, during the 2004-05 school year. The scandal involved a group of male students who created a sexually explicit list ranking their female classmates, which was dubbed the "Milton Academy Top Ten List."
The film follows several Milton Academy students, including the popular and charismatic Tommy (played by Charlie McDermott) and the naive and impressionable Emily (played by Vanessa Marano). Tommy is the ringleader of the group that creates the list, and Emily becomes one of the victims when she is ranked on it.
As the scandal unfolds, the students and their families are forced to confront the harsh reality of the situation, including the consequences of the boys' actions and the impact it has on the victims. The school administration is also put under scrutiny for their handling of the situation and their responsibility in preventing such behavior.
The film examines issues such as peer pressure, teenage sexuality, and accountability, as well as the effects of social media and technology in facilitating such behavior. It is based on the book Restless Virgins: Love, Sex, and Survival at a New England Prep School by Abigail Jones and Marissa Miley, which chronicles the events of the scandal and its aftermath.
