In the shadows of the Outer Banks, family means everything - and nothing. JJ Maybank is trying to hold together the pieces of a broken past, but the distance growing between him and his younger brother Alex threatens to tear them apart for good. Once inseparable, the two now live in different worlds: JJ with the Pogues, and Alex trapped at home under their father's watchful and cruel eyes.
Alex finds solace only in Elle Cameron, a fierce and clever girl who's as lost in her own family's dark secrets as he is. Though Elle's closest bond is with her sister Sarah, it's with Alex that she dares to dream of escape and freedom. Together, they sneak through the marshes, hiding from the weight of their names and the people who want to control them.
Above them all stands Katherine Maybank, the oldest sibling who tries to be the glue in a family frayed by fear and anger. Protective, strong, and soft in the right moments, Katherine is with her boyfriend Noah - the quiet, steady force who brings a little light to the Maybanks' stormy lives.
As secrets surface and old wounds bleed open, these young souls must navigate loyalty, love, and survival in a world where the tide always pulls back - but never for long.
