MUMBAI: Starting 4 July, One Tree Hill will debut on Star World at 9 pm. Television shows with dark secrets has always been a strong suit for any channel.

Besides a love for hoops, the story of One Tree Hill revolves around Lucas and Nathan. The two young men with little in common - except for the dark secret that they share, the same father.

Directed by Brian Robbins, the show sketches Nathan Scott having the perfect life, thanks to the perks his rich father provides. He has the girl, the car and the star position on the high school basketball team. On the other side of town, his half-brother, Lucas Scott, an intense loner ignored by Nathan's father since birth, has a different story to tell. He's always kept his distance from Nathan.

Their lives were taking separate paths until the day Lucas was asked to join the basketball team. Now, the half-brothers are battling it out for control of the court and for the hearts of the three young women who are fast becoming an intricate part of both their worlds, Peyton, Haley and Brooke. And, so unfolds a deep and bitter conflict that's been years in the making.

But the half-brothers are destined to be brought back together in One Tree Hill to confront the aftermath of their shared pasts.
