A lighthearted summer comedy about a carefree slacker and his friends discovering unexpected depth and connection through beach escapades and youthful excess.

Davin McDerby is a handsome, irresponsible slacker who arrives in Montauk Long Island for a summer of fun. He has no intention of working too hard and every intention of enjoying himself as much as possible while simultaneously escaping the pressing problems that await him back home in Ireland. Over a summer of car-jacking, pool-hopping, and tequila-drinking Davin and his new found friends discover that they have affected one another causing them to re-evaluate their lives.
