DRAG PATH - OBX

Travis Maybank learned young that if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.

By twenty-five, he's built the kind of life he never thought he'd have: a home, financial freedom, loyal friends, and a place where the Pogues can always come knocking. To them, Travis is dependable. Safe. The person who will always show up.

But even the people who know him best don't know everything.

As old wounds resurface and the lines between loyalty, family, and self-destruction begin to blur, Travis finds himself struggling with the one thing he's never learned how to do-take care of himself.

Then there's Zara, the girl behind the counter of a Charleston record store who keeps crossing his path, and Cami, the childhood friend JJ hasn't seen in years, quietly waiting somewhere beyond the island.

While the Pogues grow up around him, Travis has to confront the past he's spent his entire life outrunning, and decide whether breaking a cycle means surviving it, or finally allowing yourself to feel it.

Because sometimes the hardest thing isn't saving the people you love.

It's letting them save you.
