Plot Overview
Just a freeway away. And yet worlds apart. Rejected by his parents after a brush with the law, Ryan Atwood move temporarily into the pool house of his attorney's posh Newport Beach home...and finds both friends and foes among the priviledged O.C. youth.
Ryan Atwood is caught with his brother stealing a car. Public defender Sandy Cohen invites him into his house after Ryan's mother kicks him out, much to the dismay of Kirsten Cohen. Ryan befriends Sandy's son Seth and pushes his boundaries to get him into situations he might not normally find himself in. Ryan and Marissa immediately have some chemistry, but not if Luke, Marissa's boyfriend, has anything to say about it.
