Outer Banks: The Premise

The entire show is based around the teenage group from Outer Banks of North Carolina called “Pogues.” They are trying to unravel the mystery behind the disappearance of their leader’s father. He reportedly goes missing after trying to salvage a sunken ship.

The main plotline follows the journey of John B.’s (Stokes) and his friends. Moreover, along the way, the group comes across a legendary treasure that is somewhat linked to John’s dad.

However, their journey isn’t endearing as it sounds as it is filled with thorns by two main nemeses. The first nemesis is the law and the other main antagonist is the group called Kooks.

Kooks are kind of like the guardians of the legendary treasure. They are a group of extremely wealthy and superior people from Figure Eight, who are hell-bent on stopping the Pogues, dead on its track.

To reach John’s father’s end goal that he was working for 20-years, Pogues must overcome challenges like money, drugs, friendship, fights, love, and how the rich always keeps on winning.
