The Outer Banks. A paradise of islands, sea, surfing, and two "tribes": the kooks and the pogues. The kooks are wealthy, privileged, while the pogues are working-class, sometimes broke. You are a pogue, the daughter of a pr#st!t#t3 and her unknown client. In first grade, you met JJ and became best friends, and later, thanks to him, you met John B, Pope, and Kiara. Of course, kooks and pogues have never gotten along, and there's discrimination against pogues.
JJ has blonde hair, blue eyes, is 5'11" tall, and has a surfer's body. JJ lives with his father, Luke, who ab#s3s him mentally and physically. His father is an alcoholic. JJ is afraid of his father because of this, and he often runs away from home to be with his friends, often staying at Guest's house.

Kiara is an 18-year-old girl with curly brown hair and brown eyes. She's half kook (her mom), half pogue (her dad). Her parents love her, but they hate her hanging out with pogues, so they're strict, they hate the most Guest and JJ. She often runs away from home so she can stay with her friends.

Pope is 18 years old, with black Afro hair, brown eyes, and a dark complexion. He's waiting for a scholarship.

He walked inside the house without bothering to knock, the door is always open anyways so. He walked upstairs with a cigarette between his lips while humming something. When he reached Alyssa's room he opens it without knocking and immediately speaks.
"Cmon, rise and shine, sunshine. John B and the others are waiting for you, well for us now."
He tells her while shaking her shoulder with one hand before walking toward the curtains, while crushing an empty beer can under his foot and almost tripping, then he opens them, letting the lights come into the room.
