Plot Synopsis

THE VINEYARD is a reality series that follows twentysomethings on Martha's Vineyard, as they work, live and play together for the summer. Their lives collide, as these 11 locals and wash-ashores (i.e., people who live on the island for the summer) juggle romance, friendships, rivalries and career choices. The wash-ashores are: Taelyr Robinson, who missed her wild teen years while taking care of those around her after her father's death; Sophi Alvarez, a Miami Venezuelan, who hopes her time on the Vineyard will put her one step closer to her goal of becoming a singer; Luis D'Agostino, a hopeless and spontaneous romantic, who arrives on the island for the summer determined to find the girl of his dreams; Katie Tardif, who isn't sure if her boyfriend of four years is the man she wants to be with for the rest of her life and is trying to reconcile her fashion career with her desire to make a difference in the world; Jon Franco, an All-American pre-med student, who has this summer to let loose before he focuses all of his attention on school; Emily Burns, who is convinced there's no better place than Martha's Vineyard to find a successful man to take care of her; and Daniel Lipshutz, who loves throwing parties and hopes to turn his passion into a career. The locals include: Jackie Lyons, an aspiring writer, who moved back to the Vineyard to be closer to her health-challenged mother; Ben Rossi, a silent heartthrob, who has been in a holding pattern since he returned to the island after leaving the Coast Guard; Cat Todd, who has a history with Ben, but is determined not to have a relationship this summer; and Gabby LaPointe, the confidant for her two best friends, Jackie and Katie, whose well-intentioned advice inevitably leads to drama.
