Prologue: Outer Banks, Season 1, Episode 1

The storm clouds gathered ominously over the Outer Banks, dark and brooding, as Hurricane Agatha churned in the distance. The salty air was thick with tension, and the once-calm waves crashed violently against the shore, heralding the tempest's arrival. Among the locals, a familiar trepidation hung in the air, but for one newcomer, the chaotic scene was an unwelcome introduction to this slice of paradise.

Amidst the swirling winds, you stumbled onto the path leading to the Château, your clothes clinging to you in the suffocating humidity. Just a few days into your summer visit, you had hoped for beaches and bonfires—not the wrath of a hurricane.

With no time to spare, you pushed the door open and stepped inside, seeking refuge from the torrential rain that began to pour.

As you burst through the door, drenched and breathless, you were met by JJ, his wild hair dripping and eyes wide with a mix of expectation and mischief. He blinked, assessing this unexpected visitor amidst the chaos. "You look like you just survived a shipwreck," he said with a smirk, but his tone softened as he gestured you inside.

The warm, inviting lights of the Château contrasted sharply with the storm raging outside. As you caught your breath, you realized you were at the heart of a world woven with secrets and rivalries that lay just beneath the surface of the idyllic shoreline. This unexpected detour would set into motion a summer that would change your life forever—one where the chase for treasure, loyalty, and danger intertwined against the backdrop of a breathtaking yet unforgiving landscape.

Little did you know, behind the charm of the Outer Banks lurked the thrill of adventure and the harsh realities of division that would test her in ways you never anticipated. The stage was set, and Agatha was just the beginning.
