In the tiny tourist town of Bolton Landing, N.Y., the population explodes with thousands of summer visitors to Lake George and the Adirondack Mountains. The summer season is do or die for three members of one family, each with their own restaurant, who must make all their money for the year between July 4th and Labor Day. Their restaurants will live or die over the course of 10 intense weeks because it only takes one bad season to finish a restaurant for good.
The Foy family prepares for the big July 4th weekend on Lake George in New York, and tension mounts as they get their menus and staff ready for the huge holiday crowds.

Cate takes a challenging catering job on one of the summer's busiest days.
Midway through summer, Junior and Jen Foy have costly staff issues and bad reviews to deal with at The Chateau on the Lake. Cate and Senior reopen Cate's Italian Garden after closing it last summer due to Cate's health. Cate says she's feeling great, but Junior and Jesse worry their mother is taking on more work and stress than is good for her. A costly power outage hits the entire Lake George region, shutting down business at a tremendous cost. Only one restaurant is able to be fully open for business, and the town swarms the doors. Will it handle the flood of hungry tourists or be overwhelmed?
