Aside from their love for basketball, Nathan Scott (series star JAMES LAFFERTY) & Lucas Scott (series star CHAD MICHAEL MURRAY) seem to have little in common. But like it or not, the two young men are bound together--they share the same father. Arrogant & assured, Nathan is the star of the high school basketball team & hails from a wealthy family. Quiet & driven, Lucas is a legendary playground basketball player & the only child of a working single mom. After growing up on opposite sides of the tracks in the same small town of Tree Hill, North Carolina, the half-brothers suddenly find their lives colliding.
