The Outer Banks had always been a place of sun and saltwater, but beneath the beauty, there were dark currents pulling at everyone who lived there. John B and his friends-Pope, JJ, and Kiara-were used to fighting for survival in a town divided by the sea. The rich Kooks had everything, and the Pogues had nothing, except their loyalty to each other and a constant, simmering sense of injustice. But when a map falls into John B's hands, one that promises a treasure lost to time, everything shifts. For the first time, the Pogues might actually have the upper hand.

But there's a catch: the Kooks will stop at nothing to claim what's rightfully theirs. As John B and his crew set off on a dangerous journey to uncover the secrets of the Royal Merchant's lost gold, they'll find themselves tangled in a world of betrayal, lies, and a treasure hunt that could tear the island apart. But there's more than gold at stake-there are old wounds, family secrets, and a deadly game of power being played on every side.

Enter Lei Cameron, Kiara's twin sister-dangerous, cunning, and completely unpredictable. Lei has always known how to play the game better than anyone, and now she's here to offer the Pogues her help. But trust doesn't come easy on the Outer Banks, and no one knows that better than Lei. She has her own reasons for getting involved, reasons that might just change everything for John B and the gang. As her connection with Rafe Cameron-Sarah's older brother and a Kook with his own dark agenda-intensifies, a new, dangerous alliance begins to form.

The hunt for the gold is about to turn into something much more complicated. John B might have always thought he was playing a game he could win, but the stakes just got higher, and the rules are changing. Loyalties will be tested, lives will be lost, and everyone will have to decide: how far are they willing to go to claim their piece of the treasure?
