From TV.com -- The O.C. - also known as
Orange County, California - is an idyllic paradise, a wealthy,
harbour-front community where everything and everyone appears to be
perfect. But beneath the surface is a world of shifting loyalties and
identities, of kids living secret lives hidden from their parents, and
of parents living secret lives hidden from their children. 'The O.C.'
tells the story of the Cohen, Cooper, and Nichol families, and Ryan
Atwood, a troubled teen from the wrong side of the tracks, who is
thrust into this world, and who will forever change the lives of the
residents of The O.C.
