A DEEP AND BITTER CONFLICT UNFOLDS AS TWO BROTHERS
STRUGGLE TO DISCOVER THEIR RIGHTFUL PLACES IN LIFE –—

(Chad Michael Murray, “Dawson’s Creek,” “A Cinderella

young men with little in common, but they are bound by
the dark secret that they share the same father (Paul
Johannson, “Beverly Hills 90210”). Nathan is the star of
the high school basketball team and local town hero
while Lucas is the only child of a single working mom
(Moira Kelly, “The West Wing”). Now the two boys’
lives collide when a twist of fate puts Lucas on
Nathan’s team and the half-brothers compete, not only
for control of the court, but also for the heart of
Nathan’s beautiful girlfriend Peyton (Hilarie Burton).
