Flashback: Lolita: (Abuse, Mafia Wife, Prison)
Lolita, (Abuse, Mafia Wife, Prison)
A Cinderella Story?
Yes, she has an evil, abusive mother and a terrible early life filled with physical abuse. Yes, she meets the handsome, Mafia Prince, in church of all places. They are madly in love and have the gorgeous fairytale wedding. They live in a beautiful mansion. Fabulously rich and young, they look forward to a wonderful life. Lolita loves being wife to the Mafia enforcer. She has everything she’s ever wanted and adores her husband.
But Happily Ever After? I don’t think so.
All the fairy tales and romance stories end with, “And They Lived Happily Ever After.”
What really happens after the ‘Ever After?’ Could be it be tragic?
Well, yeah.
When the Prince is gone forever, murdered. When political forces targeting the Mafia cause a miscarriage of justice. When you’re thrown into a maximum-security women’s prison. Then it’s just a matter of survival.
Clashing steel gates. Your roomy is big and scary. The food is awful. Working daily in the laundry, like a real Cinderella, is hot and exhausting. The nights are filled with inmates screaming and crying.
The guards are mostly okay, making sure the prisoners follow strict prison rules. Except one, who has it in for Lolita. A real nasty character who came from a rival Mafia gang in Chicago. He is determined she will suffer. Maybe never leave the prison alive.
Drones fly over the prison gates, delivering contraband, poison pills, and weapons.
There are strip searches for hidden drugs.
Fights break out between inmates.
Rival gangs clash in warfare.
Drugs are rampant, and women od.
Can Lolita survive?
