Outer Banks: Summer Break

OUTER BANKS: SUMMER BREAK is a prequel set just weeks before everything changes-before John B's summer spirals, before the treasure hunt, before Hurricane Agatha barrels toward the coast and reshapes the island forever.
Rafe Cameron is barely holding it together. With relatives crowding the Cameron house and family expectations tightening like a noose, he's forced to play the perfect Kook son while hiding the one thing he can't control: the drugs, the cravings, and the dangerous comfort he finds in Barry-his dealer, his secret, and the last person Rafe can be honest with. He's quick to sneer at the Pogues, even quicker to clash with them whenever the island's small roads throw them together... but when Rafe stumbles onto a buried family truth, the cracks in the Cameron legacy start to split wide open.
Topper Thornton has his own reasons to keep his head down. Fresh back from the mainland, he returns to the island expecting things to be normal-until Sarah starts acting like a stranger. She's distant, jumpy, hiding something that doesn't fit the life they're supposed to live. Desperate to protect what they have (and terrified of what he might lose), Topper searches for answers while trying to keep his own private mess out of sight.
Told in alternating chapters-one in Rafe's POV, the next in Topper's-this is the summer before the storm... and the secrets that will set it all in motion.
