The streets hum with engines, laughter, and the kind of danger that always comes before dark. Ponyboy Curtis has spent most of his life caught in the middle - too soft for the fights, too smart for the streets, and too loyal to ever walk away. He dreams of something more, something golden and still untouched by all the noise.

Then he meets Clara "Clare" Bennett - a diner girl with quiet eyes and a mind full of daydreams. She's not a Soc, not a Greaser, just a girl trying to survive in a town that eats kindness alive. Clare sees the world the way Pony does - through stories, starlight, and second chances - and for a little while, it feels like maybe that's enough.

They steal moments where the rest of the world can't find them -
sitting on car hoods under fading streetlights, talking about the kind of life that only exists in books. But the city never lets anything good last for long. Fights grow meaner, tempers shorter, and every promise they make starts to sound more like a prayer.

Because in Tulsa, even love has rules - and breaking them means paying a price.
As the nights grow colder and the shadows stretch longer, Ponyboy learns that holding onto someone can be just as dangerous as losing them.

And when the streetlights fade, all that's left is what they tried to protect.
