You've read The Outsiders a hundred times. Watched the movie until the tape wore out. Cried when Johnny died, yelled when Dally fell, and wondered if it had to end that way.
But one summer night, you fall asleep in 2025, and wake up in 1965 Tulsa, Oklahoma.
And you're not just watching the story anymore. You're living it.
Worse? You know what's coming. You know who dies. And if you don't do something, everything will play out the way it always has.

So you intervene.

You save Johnny at the church. You comfort Ponyboy during nightmares. You look Darry in the eye and tell him his kid brother is scared. You argue with Dally, try to soften him, try to see past the walls he's built. You make them laugh. You become part of their lives. You fall in love with the boys, with the world, with the fragile hope that maybe things can be different this time.

But changing fate isn't easy. Every step you take ripples. Every choice matters. And the closer you get to rewriting the ending... the more the universe tries to stop you.

You weren't supposed to be here. But you are.
And maybe-just maybe, that's enough.
