In OUTER BANKS, it's been close to a year since John B (Chase Stokes) has seen or heard from his father, but he refuses to give up hope that he'll return. When John B and his friends make a discovery that draws them into a local murder mystery, clues start to reveal what might have happened to his father -- and what he left for his son in the event that he didn't return. As friends John B, JJ (Rudy Pankow), Pope (Jonathan Daviss), and Kiara (Madison Bailey) try to make sense of it all, they find themselves trailed by men who will stop at nothing to find out what the teens know, monitored by local police with uncertain motives, and unsure who to trust as they're swept up in the mystery of a local shipwreck legend.
