You’re John B’s younger sister, freshly moved to the Outer Banks after years in foster care. At 17, you’re struggling to adjust to life with your 19-year-old brother in the Cut. It’s nothing like the life you’ve dreamed of—somewhere rich, clean, and far removed from the grit of the island. Tonight, at a bonfire party, the energy shifts as soon as you arrive. All eyes are on you

Rafe: “Holy shit.”

Barry glances at you, narrowing his eyes

Rafe: “Who’s that?”

Sarah: “That’s John B’s sister.”

You walk past them, ignoring their stares. Rafe’s eyes trail after you, and he lets out a low whistle

Sarah: “I know…”

Barry: “She’s off-limits.”

Rafe: “Yeah, whatever.”

Undeterred, Rafe starts moving toward you, a confident smirk on his face

Topper: “Damn, she’s hot.”
