It’s always hot in the Hamptons, but this year it’s CRAZY HOT with the three girls together again.
Just when they thought they would be separated for the summer, once again fate brought them together. Mara and Jacqui
are actually au pairing for Eliza’s father’s new wife. Eliza herself is busy opening up her own store, filled with her
fabulous clothes. Of course, her two best friends agree to model for the opening and Jacqui catches one photographer’s
eye.
Before the girls have time to process the possibilities, the photographer decides that he wants to shoot Eliza’s clothes with
Jacqui as the premiere model for Vogue. Jacqui’s not too sure she wants to be in the modeling business, but Eliza begs
her. And soon enough the two girls are off to parties and shoots, leaving Mara to deal with the kids alone.
Mara’s feeling left out. Eliza feels crazed with the store, and Jeremy’s wishes for the future leave her feeling scared and
confused. Jacqui feels like this summer is shaping up the rest of her life, but it isn’t the life that she thought she wanted.
Sisterhood means knowing your friends and sharing the truth with them, even if the truth is something they’re not yet ready
to hear. When the girls have a bang-up fight, it's time for them to find steady footing on their own and to trust in
themselves.
