Cleo Redding and Jesse Garner - young, wild and free in nature. Burnouts in their small hometown in Illinois, Cleo makes a run for New York, desperate to save herself from self-destruction, abandoning her life in her hometown - except her connection with Jesse. Her plans in New York turn to dust, thanks to a painful loneliness, until she returns to old, bad habits and the two find each other once more. A toxic relationship partially reconciled in the presence of a fresh face - the sweet Will Langely - may struggle to exist, but both Jesse and Will were her knights, her saviors, her gold. And it pains Cleo to be reminded by Frost that, quite frankly, "Nothing gold can stay."
