Summary
Dallas Winston wasn't scared of anything. He'd survived the streets of New York, two neglectful parents, and the reformatory. He'd been bucked off broncs, caught up in gang activity, and jumped more times than he's willing to admit. That all changed today though. Trepidation glossing those icy blue eyes.

Summary
The year is 1974, a Californian film student uncovers a yellowed newspaper clipping: “Delinquent Youths Turn Heroes.” Something about it won’t let her go. Boarding a train to Tulsa Oklahoma, camera in hand she hopes to get some answers. But what she finds is closed doors, hushed voices, and rumors that Johnny Cade never stood trial because he skipped town like a coward. Others say he's dead. As one lead turns into another, her film transforms into a search for the truth and for Johnny himself. What begins as inspiration for a student film spirals into a cross-country odyssey through dusty archives, roadside diners, forgotten highways and half remembered towns. Told through flickering footage and sun-faded photos, this is a story of escape and survival, exploring Johnny’s life on the run and a strangers determination to learn his true story. A grainy a love letter to lost youth, unfinished stories, and the search for truth.
