Shane Pierce is a Harper's Island local who pretty much dislikes everyone. He works on a boat with his best friend, Jimmy Mance, and hates that the return of Abby Mills has turned Jimmy into her little whipping boy. He has a particular distaste for Henry Dunn's brother, JD, especially after JD starts flirting with his ex-girlfriend. Shane's got a short temper and a history of violence, which makes him capable of just about anything.
