After a secret summer fling, the coolest guy at Rydell High, Danny Zuko, and the new girl-next-door, Sandy Dumbrowski, try to rekindle their romance when school begins—but navigating the high school dynamics between Danny's fiery gang of greased-hair, hot-rodding "Burger Palace Boys", and Sandy's cheeky new friends of the gum-snapping, hip-shaking "Pink Ladies" make it hard to maintain their summer lovin’.
