In the wake of John Booker Routledge's death, the island moved on around the pogues. Kildare County left the four teenagers to collect themselves alone, leaving those teenagers to mourn in secret as to not disturb the peace the island attempted to advertise.
JJ Maybank drowned his sorrows in alcohol, never sober, never fully there. Kiara Carrera threw herself into environmental work, working around the clock to keep herself busy. Pope Heyward spent most of his days tucked away in the library, his nose stuck in his books as he studied his life away. His sights were set and his goals were on the horizon despite the tragic loss.
And then there was Talia Anderson, the girl the island could not figure out. For a brief time near the end of summer, the girl crossed enemy lines and allowed herself to be pulled into the dwellings of a pogue, which was no life for a kook girl. Once snapped out of the phase she so clearly fell trapped into, she returned to her home. Figure Eight welcomed her with hesitant arms yet the girl seemed unfazed. During the day, Talia resumed her kook duties but at night, she'd slip away, fleeing for sanctuary at the Heyward's.
None of them knew that on a random Tuesday afternoon, a text would come through to their numbers and change the trajectory of their new found plans.
