Juniper Maybank, twin brother to the boisterous JJ, navigates the silent world of the Outer Banks, deaf yet deeply attuned to the currents of Pogue life. When a mysterious sunken boat ignites a hunt for gold, Juniper's quiet existence is thrown into a dangerous maelstrom, forcing him to confront not only Kooks and family secrets but the true meaning of survival. Will his silent strength be enough to see him through the summer, or will the Outer Banks claim another Pogue?
