Jack Porter (Nick Wechsler) is a blue-collar son of a dock worker who’s spent his entire adult life helping his father manage the Stowaway Tavern, a local hangout for the common folk of Montauk. Though he’s loyal to the core, Jack’s always had aspirations of escape—nomadic dreams of sailing around the world and carving out an adventure of his own, but dedication to his hard luck family has always conspired to keep him landlocked. When fate (and a yellow Lab) brings Emily Thorne into his life, Jack is unable to shake a déjà vu-like connection to her. With intimate knowledge of Emily’s former life as the little girl he knew as Amanda Clarke, Jack’s growing interest in the strangely familiar new girl could throw a serious wrench into Emily’s carefully crafted agenda.
