what occurs at the lake stays at the lake. Or does it?


Parker and his Buckhead Shore pals have officially arrived at his family's lake residence to "let loose" for the summer, however it seems their dreams of any "drama-free" southern shore life will be short-lived. Hailing from Buckhead -- the Beverly Hills of the South -- this tight-knit crew has history... And then some.


The chicken man Parker is the HBIC ("Head Buck" in charge) because, well, it's his lake house. Even though his fam owns one of the big fast-food chicken chains in the Southeast, ask the self-proclaimed nation boy at heart however a city boy in his pants) to grill chicken at your own risk. His ride-or-dies include Pat and DJ, whose dad is Daryl Simmons, the king of baby-making music. DJ lures the ladies by writing his own sexual poetry lyrics. Mentioned females include Bethania, his longtime friend-turned-lover, though their past hookups haven't stopped him from taking body shots off of Chelsea. As for Chelsea, her beginning day at the lake home brought on a UTI, which she swiftly (and oddly) blamed on Parker's golden retriever Babe. Chelsea is tight with Adamo, a navy aviation mechanic by day and stripper by night (sorry, Adamo's mom). Speaking of strippers, enter Juju: Parker may be "the king of chicken strips," however Juju is "the king of stripper chicks" and accommodates run his family member company, the prominent Atlanta strip club Magic City.


And then there's aspiring realtor and "queen bae" Katie, whose arrival has Parker somewhat nervous.


"I'm really excited for all my companions to come to my lake residence, however there's one individual I'm nervous about seeing: my ex-girlfriend Katie," Parker shared. "Even if we're not with each other, Katie will usually be in my life. So I invited her up to my lake home. I hope it's a good idea."


Dun, dun, duuuuun. Katie's unofficial motto: "If it's not toxic, I don't want it." According to DJ, their "toxic love" is "like The Notebook, nevertheless way worse." Case in point: Thanks to one of Katie's past visits, Parker's Rolex is chillin' at the bottom of the lake. While Katie has zero intention of rekindling a romance with her ex, she's still in her feelings about it. (And also isn't above strutting back and forth in a sexy swimsuit while Parker plays ping-pong, nevertheless we digress.)


"Being at this residence, naturally it makes me sad," she admitted. "Just 'cause I know he isn't right for me doesn't mean I still don't love him and have feelings for him. It's just making sure I respect myself enough to not keep going back. Yet I some days do feel like an idiot." 


so far, there's one thing (or person, rather) who's liable to make sure that Katie doesn't return to her ex: Parker's new love interest Savannah. Turns out that two days before the gang's arrival, Katie revenge-texted both Parker and Savannah claiming that she "spent the night with Parker last Saturday." Now that Sav is in the mix, Parker is eager to "come clean."


"At the end of the day, I made the decision," he mentioned. "It's my fault. I opened that door, and I should have never let it happen."


Upon Savannah's arrival at the residence, the HBIC was rapidly accused of "playing two women and also a crowd argument ensued. Soon after cooler heads prevailed, Parker processed the "sticky situation" and came to one conclusion: "After last night, all of my sh*t is in the street. I have to pick up the pieces and convince Savannah that that's not who I really am. I have to tell Savannah the truth."


Which is? "The truth is: That night, Katie texted me, and I slept with her."
