(CW) Two half-brothers — Lucas Scott (Chad Michael Murray) and Nathan Scott (James Lafferty) — compete for a spot on their high school’s basketball team, and for the attention of girls, in Tree Hill, North Carolina. Over time, the rivalry turns into a bromance as the series follows the brothers beyond high school as they and the extended cast deal with tumultuous relationships, drug addiction, career and pressures, depression, and even a hostage situation!
