   Summary

   Ponyboy was five when his parents died. He was five when he was separated from his brothers. And he was five when he got it imprinted in his brain, that he didn’t have anybody.

   What happens when all that he’s ever known is thrown out the window? And most of all, what happens when Ponyboy shows up at the Curtis’ doorstep with a heavy New York accent, and a deep resentment for.. well, everything in general?
