GIRL MEETS THE POGUES

When the Matthews family decides a summer road trip to the Outer Banks is the perfect escape before high school resumes, Riley Matthews sees it as an open invitation to expand her world, make new friends, and find deep connections on the sun-soaked coast. Joined by Maya, Lucas, Farkle, and Zay-along with Cory, Topanga, Auggie, Shawn, and Katy-the New York crew swaps the streets of Greenwich Village for the open waters of North Carolina.

The trip takes an unexpected turn when the group settles near the Cut and crosses paths with the Pogues: John B, Sarah, JJ, Kie, Pope, and Cleo. While Riley is eager to bridge the gap between their two worlds, the island's steep divide between the working-class Pogues and the wealthy Kooks creates instant friction. But as quick-witted bonds form-from Zay and JJ's chaotic banter to Farkle and Kie's surprising connection-the New York transplants quickly realize island life isn't just beach fires and boat rides.

When local tensions rise and old rivalries flare, the combined group must blend the New York crew's optimism with the Pogues' fierce loyalty to protect one another, proving that true family and friendship stretch far beyond home turf.
