Terry Murphy has dreams of becoming a dancer as a means to escape the life of poverty he now endures. Working towards that goal, Terry takes dancing lessons at a theatre located at the opposite end of the lower east side New York slums he calls home. Alone after his lesson, it was at this theatre that set Terry’s life on a downward spiral. Attacked by a wealthy stranger, Terry is raped then stalked for several days before his courage leads him to confront his stalker at his uptown home. Terry is beaten, but avoids arrest with the help of Tom Finnegan, a tough guy who has a secret crush on Terry, and has been following him around to protect him. Tom gets Terry safely to Terry’s older brother Brian. Brian and Terry flee to the mining camps in California.
Lola Dances is a sultry saga that takes you on a journey of dark secrets, murder and the forbidden. With each encounter Terry has, the actions shape the persona that he becomes. The cast of characters, Martin Van Arndst, the rapist, Brian, brother and scoundrel, Joshua, self absorbed secret lover and Tom, who truly loves Terry, all play a major part in Terry’s way of life. Victor J Banis weaves a complex story with some tantalizing surprises; Terry’s loneliness gives a tug to your heartstrings, and a feeling of indignation for his loss of innocence Lola Dances is a most intriguing odyssey.
