❝Sleep pretty darling, do not cry, and I will sing a lullaby.❞ — The Beatles, 'Golden Slumbers'
THE YEAR IS 1965. Tulsa, Oklahoma is ruled by the social divide between two groups, namely the Greasers and the Socs, who are in constant dispute with one another. Grace Bergmann, seen as a Soc, is condemned to live like one of the rich kids. She has everything a Soc could want — a nice house, a cookie-cutter family, pretty clothes, friends aplenty. And yet the only thing missing from her 'perfect' life is... well, just about everything.
Grace has always felt like a pariah in the dictionary definition of a Soc. Wild and passionate at heart, she can't relate to the cool and sophisticated demeanours of her so-called contemporaries. Her status has always felt meaningless to her, leaving her lost and confused in a world where it seems to be all that matters. Look the part, play the part. It is all anyone ever seems to do, from her people-pleasing sister Edith, to the obnoxiously haughty Marvin Haynes at school.
But one night, when she finds herself on the wrong side of the tracks, Grace stumbles upon a fragile boy named Johnny beaten to a pulp by her own kind; and subsequently she gets one foot into the lives of the Greasers. The more time she spends with them, the more she sees they aren't so different at all. All she sees are boys who like books and sunsets, boys hardened beyond open-heartedness to survive in this cruel world, boys who had to grow up fast and carry all their burdens on their aching backs. Especially in Johnny Cade, the broken boy with a heart of gold, Grace finds hope for a life beyond the labels of Greasers and Socs, as both their lives and their souls intertwine...
However, things are never so simple. Over the following months, Grace and her friends (from both sides of the tracks) learn slowly but surely that while Greasers and Socs can see the same sunset, the bitter truth is this — nothing gold can stay.
