Elliot 'Eli' Hayes never quiet fit in the mold of a typical greaser. With a book in his back pocket and his mind constantly wandering beyond the city limits of Tulsa, he's always been a little different. But loyalty to his gang and his love for his found family keep him rooted in a life he both treasures and struggles with.
Darry Curtis has spent years carrying the weight of responsibility on his shoulders, holding his family and the gang together with grit and determination. He never thought he'd find someone who truly understood the depth of his struggles - until he met Eli.
As the two grow closer, their connection becomes an anchor in a turbulent world, offering both comfort and the possibility of something more. But in a life filled with violence, loss, and unrelenting loyalty, will their bond be strong enough to withstand the trials they face?
A story about finding strength in quiet moments, love in unexpected places, and hope in the face of hardship.
