The O.C. Orange County, It's where all the beautiful people live

High School has never been more attractive with America's favourite senior class and Newport drama - The O.C., where Harbor School and Newport Union clash in a quest to discover love, friends, a sense of belonging and most of all enemies. The O.C. is a story about family, friendships, love in all forms, and the coming of age of four young people. In season three, Kirsten (Kelly Rowan) befriends a mysterious woman, Charlotte (Jeri Ryan), in rehab. Strapped for cash, Jimmy (Tate Donovan) returns to Newport Beach and even tangles with Julie (Melinda Clarke) again, but he's in way over his head this time. After the shocking events at the end of her junior year of high school, Marissa (Mischa Barton) finds herself in the role of a princess who has definitely been knocked off her pedestal, further straining her relationship with Ryan (Benjamin McKenzie). With Marissa temporarily brought low, Summer (Rachel Bilson) has some new competition for social chair, which shakes up her steady relationship with Seth (Adam Brody). And although his marriage with Kirsten may be on the mend, Sandy (Peter Gallagher) may have to embark on a brand -new career as a result of the changes in Kirsten's life.
