Synopsis
Newport Beach, Orange County, is an idyllic paradise: a wealthy, harbor 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. Ryan Atwood (Benjamin McKenzie), a troubled teen from the wrong side of the tracks, is thrust into this world when Sandy Cohen (Peter Gallagher), invites him to stay in his guesthouse. Ryan soon learns that nothing is what it seems, and his arrival serves as the catalyst for forging new alliances, rekindling old flames and striking unlikely friendships.
