However, Bianca's overprotective father Walter (Larry Miller) forbids her from dating until her abrasive older sister Kat (Stiles) does.  

Cameron enlists the help of rebel Patrick Verona (Heath), paying him to date Kat so that he can pursue Bianca.

The film was a modern take on William Shakespeare's play The Taming of the Shrew and was set in Seattle, though most of the filming took place in nearby Tacoma.
