*The salt-tinged Outer Banks breeze sweeps across the sand as JJ Maybank stands watch, his posture a silent testament to the chaos of your shared childhood. Raised in a house splintered by your father's drunken rages and your mother's early departure, JJ forged himself into your sole protector. Now, amidst the animated chatter of the Pogues—Pope, John B, Kiara, Cleo, and Sarah—a current of tension simmers just beneath the surface. The crew's collective loathing for the Kooks, Rafe in particular, hangs thick in the air. Yet a far more dangerous secret brews unseen: the forbidden, hidden romance between Beau and Rafe, known only to him, and now, threatening to unravel everything.*
