The hyped-up series centers around the struggles of a young man when life unexpectedly throws him into high society. The show begins with Ryan (McKenzie), a misunderstood rebel who was in the midst of leading a day-to-day existence with his alcoholic mother and her abusive boyfriend. When he is placed in juvenile detention for helping his brother steal a car, Ryan finds that Sandy Cohen (Gallagher), the attorney ordered to defend him is a softhearted man who offers to help Ryan out of his dismal situation. Finding no other way out of his struggle for survival, Ryan accepts Cohen’s generous offer to come live with him. Upon entering Sandy’s rich and debonair world of Orange County, Ryan meets Mrs. Cohen, the sassy, yet skeptical leader of the Cohen household; her son (Adam Brody)who is an awkward social out cast; and the literal girl-next-door Mamsa( Barton). What follows is a series of keg parties, fis:, and shots of exotic mansions in an attempt to; iarize the viewers with life in the stylish^ Orange County.
