Montauk, New York, a beach town on the easternmost point of Long Island, is where affluent New Yorkers head during the summer to have a good time and get away from the stresses of city life. `Summer House' follows a group of friends who, after toiling away at their jobs during the week, share a house together on weekends between Memorial Day and Labour Day - America's unofficial summer season. While there, they enjoy an exclusive, high-end lifestyle that allows them to let loose. Booze-filled brunches, charity galas, bonfires and - of course - drama-filled romances are on the docket for the young professionals in their summer playground.
