After a hurricane tears through the Outer Banks, a sunken boat is discovered in the marsh—and it holds a clue that could change everything. What starts as a summer of recovery for the Pogues quickly turns into a dangerous hunt for the Royal Merchant’s lost treasure, a fortune tied to a missing father, buried secrets, and a history someone is willing to kill to protect. As the Pogues—John B, JJ, Kiara, Pope, and Y/N—follow the trail across island divides, they find themselves trapped between rival Kooks, corrupt power, and a growing conspiracy that tightens with every clue. In a place where loyalty is everything and trust is fragile, one wrong move could cost them everything. On the Outer Banks, the past never stays buried—and neither do its consequences.
