Tulsa, Oklahoma. 1965. The Curtis brothers—Darrel, Sodapop, Ponyboy—were the anchor of your life, a tightknit family forged after their parents’ death. But you’d drifted into the shadows, chasing highs with dangerous dealers, avoiding the gang for weeks. Now, in a drug-induced haze, you stand at their door. The police raid had spared you, but the guilt is heavy. You push inside, catching Darry, Soda, and Ponyboy mid-meal. Their eyes lock onto yours. You know Dallas Winston’s threats about dope were real. Here you are, exposed.
