The O.C. Season 4, hits Zee Cafe

High school seems like a distant memory to the young graduates at the center of "The O.C.," particularly because they have been thrust into adulthood after the death of their beloved friend, Marissa Cooper. The Cohens struggle to keep Ryan focused on the future, fighting the forces that threaten to pull him back into his old life. Having left Orange County, Summer attends Brown University in Rhode Island, where she has reinvented herself as a left-leaning, tree-hugging activist. And, lonely in Orange County, Seth works at a local comic book store. Julie, meanwhile, hires a private detective to track down Volchok, who had fled to Mexico. She plans to have Ryan take revenge on Volchok, presumably by killing him.
