Based on a true story, LAP DANCE follows Kevin (Rob Hoffman), a promising screenwriter and Monica (Ali Cobrin), an aspiring actress are recent college graduates driving across country to Los Angeles where they plan to make a home and follow their Hollywood dreams together. Strapped for cash, the couple makes a pact so Monica can take a high paying job as an exotic dancer in order to pay her cancer stricken father's expenses. But can any relationship withstand the club's seduction and temptations? Once the pact is broken, their lives are changed forever.

Writer/Director Greg Carter commented, "There is no such thing as a bad or a good choice, just experiences that we learn from and knowledge gained from it. We sometimes make certain choices because we feel like we can get away with it, and those choices threaten to spin us apart in relationships, but at the end of the day I wanted people to know that no matter what, love can still conquer all. Yes love is fragile and you have to protect it, but I do believe it can still conquer all."

LAP DANCE features an all-star cast including Carmen Electra, Mariel Hemingway, James Remar, Ali Cobrin, Robert Hoffman, Lou Temple, Obba Babatunde, Briana Evigan, and Stacey Dash. Lap Dance, Carter's latest directorial effort, is based on events in the lives of him and his girlfriend, actress Junie Hoang prior to their move to Los Angeles in 2005.
