*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
Ryan Atwood is a troubled teen who finds himself in even more trouble when his older brother, Trey, bullies him into participating in a car theft late one night in their hometown of Chino, California. They get arrested and Trey is sentenced to three years in prison, while Ryan being just 16 years old, is set free under the supervision of public defender Sandy Cohen.
From that moment on, Ryan enters a world he can quickly adjust to. He meets Marissa, of whom he already starts to fall for. Than he meets Seth, a geeky but funny guy. Also in this episode we are presented to Summer, Seth's dream girl and Luke, Marrisa's boyfriend.
This episode is the very first of "The O.C." series. We are presented to all of the important characters and their life as it is.
