The series
A high-energy teen mystery told from the working island out.
When Maren Costa, sixteen, buys a three-dollar whale tooth at a thrift shop, her crew is pulled into a treasure hunt that has run through their families for generations. The Myrick teeth at the center of it are real, carved at sea in 1828, thirty-seven known in the world.
The theft is the story: a $500 million fortune taken through a share of the island forged after the 1659 sale. The working island against the summer money. Kids who know where everything is against adults who own it.
The pilot, Greasy Luck, is complete. The series bible runs six seasons to a planned ending. Seasons One through Four are outlined. The work is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office and the Writers Guild of America West.
