Based on the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Wilson says in 2013 he printed his novel, which follows 4 mates on a treasure hunt from a well-known shipwreck close to the outer banks of North Carolina.

Wilson says his e book was even promoted by Discovery and Historical past Channel, and he claims the ‘OB’ creators have even confessed … they relied on different books and authors for inspiration to write down the scripted sequence.

The writer claims his e book was drawn from closely … he says the primary forged and their character arcs are virtually similar to his novel … and he says the plot factors and settings are eerily comparable, too.

Wilson is suing Netflix for copyright infringement … and he desires the streaming large to fork over any earnings they’ve made out of infringing on his novel and an injunction stopping Netflix from distributing or promoting “Outer Banks.”
