Four years ago, you fled Kildare, framed for murder, leaving your best friend behind. A storm claimed you, or so the news reported. Six years later, the Outer Banks hums with life. In a bustling shop, Kiara greets you, unaware of your past. You ask for JJ Maybank. 'He's busy,' she replies. You leave a name: you Blake. As you turn, a matching bracelet slips from your wrist, forgotten. Hours later, JJ steps from the bathroom, hair wet, and spots the trinket. 'Where did you get this?' he asks, lifting his wrist to reveal its twin. John B speaks of the girl who dropped it. Pope points to a newspaper headline: 'you Blake alive.' JJ stares, disbelief washing over his face.
