Adolescent half-brothers Lucas (Chad Michael Murray) and Nathan (James Lafferty) Scott have lived parallel lives in One Tree,  North Carolina. They share a common father,  Dan Scott (Paul Johansson),  who has disregarded the existence of Lucas,  his son by a one-time flame,  Karen (Moira Kelly),  whom he dumped years before to accept a basketball scholarship to college. While neglecting Lucas,  Dan--whose hoop dreams never materialized--has spent his time almost perversely micro-managing every one of Nathan's moves on and off the court at his old high school,  where the lad is currently an arrogant superstar under gruff-but-wise coach Whitey Durham (Barry Corbin). Nathan (whose mother is separated from Dan) is a child of privilege and has been raised to disregard teamwork,  compromise,  or the feelings of others. He regards Lucas,  a basketball sensation on neighborhood playgrounds,  as trash,  and his own girlfriend,  Peyton (Hilarie Burton),  as a pretty bauble he can abuse and dismiss at will. Still,  he's sympathetic; one can see glimpses of the human being struggling to emerge from under Dan's control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMeanwhile,  Lucas helps Karen run her café,  hangs out with platonic best friend Haley (Bethany Joy Lenz),  and pines for Peyton (herself a punky misfit at heart). He also turns to surrogate dad Keith Scott (Craig Sheffer)--actually his uncle and Dan's older brother--for support,  and sees himself as a perpetual and doomed outsider in One Tree. All that changes when Whitey invites Lucas to join the b-ball team that Nathan dominates,  a move that challenges the status quo of multiple relationships in a small community. For about a third of its episodes,  this series from creator Mark Schwahn (who wrote the hit film Coach Carter) stays true to the suspense surrounding Lucas's and Nathan's changes in fortune. Then a bit of padding follows to the end of the season; there are 22 episodes to fill out,  after all. But even as various distractions (a kidnapping subplot,  a car accident and coma for a major character) and random events creep in (Dan,  rather incredibly,  takes over the team from Whitey at one point,  thus coaching both his sons),  One Tree Hill remains highly watchable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"J2Movies","offers":[{"title":"Pre-Owned - Complete","offer_id":47820182454564,"sku":"DVDGD003618","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Pre-Owned - Sealed","offer_id":48468750795044,"sku":"DVDBN003618","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/3851\/7028\/files\/71VtqeC-h4L._SL1500.jpg?v=1705247451","url":"https:\/\/j2movies.com\/products\/one-tree-hill-the-complete-first-season-dvd","provider":"J2Movies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
