On the sun-drenched island of Outer Banks, the divide between the wealthy Kooks and the impoverished Pogues is absolute. JJ Maybank, a stunning, free-spirited Pogue who hides his deep trauma behind a mask of alcohol, drugs, and a cheerful smile, is fiercely in love with his best friend, John B. But their summer turns into a living nightmare when Rafe Cameron, the psychotic Kook heir obsessed with JJ, orchestrates his abduction. Driven by his son's obsession, the twisted scientist Ward Cameron uses JJ as a guinea pig in his secret laboratory, genetically reconstructing JJ into a submissive Omega. To seal the trap, Ward injects Rafe with synthetic Alpha pheromones, forcing a chemical bond between them. Locked in the Cameron mansion, JJ must battle his own biology and his growing, artificial attraction to Rafe while desperately fighting to escape back to John B before his true self is completely erased by the chemical chains of his captors.
