Throwing caution to the wind, Eliza follows best friend Sofia to the Hamptons and decides to change her approach to romance. They're going to follow the rules of dating from a 50-year-old self-help book. The book seemingly works and Eliza finds herself in the center of a love triangle between Rich, a perfect doctor, and Doug, the towel boy at a Hampton's hotel.
