One Tree Hill follows the lives of paternal half-brothers Lucas and Nathan Scott who, originally, shared nothing in common except for the same father, Dan Scott, and a love for basketball. Their lives become more complicated by the romantic entanglements of the two with three girls - Peyton Sawyer, Brooke Davis and Haley James. The show follows the lives of these five characters (nicknamed "The Core Five" because of this reason) and their group of friends through High School and then into their adulthood.
