During the musical, in the summer of 1959, Sandy Dombrowski and Danny Zuko fall in love at the beach, neither knowing that they both now attend Rydell High School, where Danny is the leader of the T-Birds, black-jacketed greasers; and Sandy is with the Pink Ladies, led by Betty Rizzo. Sandy finds that Danny is not the same boy she met at the beach and the two must work rekindle the spark that led to their summer romance.
