Johnny Rourke is a rebellious teenager from the wrong side of town, a motorbike-riding loner who plays on the high school football team and lives by his own rules. Tracey Prescott is a pretty, wealthy cheerleader with a conventional boyfriend and a life that seems already mapped out. When Johnny wins a date with her and trouble at a school dance changes everything, Tracey is drawn toward his reckless world and the dangerous freedom he represents.
