Along for the fun-finding ride is The Social Network, who immediately connects with the friendliest locals and tourists. Among the social set are the bickering Alpha and Omega, who have extended their summer stay indefinitely. After much research, and a great deal of coastal inspiration, our star-studded cast declares a passionate Conviction: that no town is better than Wildwood, no matter what the season!
