Details

Summary
George, a mild mannered man in his mid 30's, inherits a beach house in the Hamptons and rents out rooms to Manhattanites. George has not actually met any of these yuppies from the urban jungle and they turn out to be a motley crew of neurotics who drive him crazy from the moment they arrive. Everyone hilariously survives the experience and some unlikely romances develop before Labor Day and the final trek back to New York City, until next summer?
