After years of chaos, treasure hunts, and betrayals, the Pogues find themselves in a new chapter — one where love, family, and responsibility collide. John B and Sarah, now young parents, are trying to leave behind the danger and rebuild a peaceful life for their son. But the Outer Banks has never been kind to those who try to escape its pull.
When a long-buried map resurfaces — not of gold, but of secrets tied to their own families — they’re dragged back into a world of shifting loyalties and ruthless adversaries. Old enemies return with new faces, and trust becomes the most dangerous gamble. As Pope and Kiara chase their own destinies, JJ makes a choice that could either save them all or break them forever.
With stunning backdrops, heart-racing chases, and emotional reckonings, Season 5 explores what it means to grow up when your world was built on lies. At the heart of it all is one question: how far would you go to protect the ones you love?
The hunt is never truly over — and in the Outer Banks, every discovery comes at a cost.
