In the 1960's, times were pretty rough. Mostly for Brenda Alfred, a fifteen year old greaser who lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Brenda has gone though a hard life at home and at school. She is an abused teenager and is bullied at school.
She has seven best friends, Ponyboy, Johnny, Dally, Steve, Soda, Darry, and Two-Bit. They go through the hard times together as a gang. They get jumped, bullied, and arrested a lot, but they still stick together as a gang. They never leave each other's side. Until one day, their lives are changed forever...
