Although the series is inspired by the atmosphere and landscape of the Outer Banks, the characters are fictional. The plot is designed to capture the essence of local legends and myths, but it is not based on specific real-life events.

The teen drama mixes elements of mystery and adventure with a plot centered on the search for a lost treasure and the tensions between different social groups in the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

What is Outer Banks about?

The show follows a group of teenagers and centers on the search for a lost treasure related to the protagonist’s father, John B. Routledge (played by Chase Stokes), who mysteriously disappeared.
