Fresh off their freshman year of college, New York socialites Kingston Lang and Claire Buckingham flee to the Hamptons for their annual summer retreat, expecting another fun-filled season of sun, surf and friends. However, when an industrious college student looking for a summer job and a shipwrecked European runaway arrive on the Long Island locale as well, worlds collide, secrets are forged, and tensions flare, causing jealousy and deceit between the bluebloods and the local island residents. Caught in the class-war between their roots and their new friends, Kingston and Claire must decide who their true allies are in a world full of manipulation, money, and greed and who exactly they can trust before their summer of fun transforms into a summer of danger.
