Daisy, Tom, and Gatsby are filthy rich people. Daisy becomes infatuated with Gatsby despite her relationship with Tom...their relationship is already broken anyways since Tom has been cheating on Daisy with some chick named Myrtle. Nick(the narrator) is fascinated with Gatsby, but Nick plays hardly any noticable role in the story...he's more of an onlooker of all the rich-people drama. Gatsby and Daisy fall "in love" or perhaps they're just lustful for one another. Long story short, Daisy runs over Tom's lover Myrtle and kills her...and then a couple days later Gatsby dies in his fancy pool.
