After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen was missing
and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a
remote island in the Pacific. When he returns home to Starling City, his
devoted mother Moira, much-beloved sister Thea, and best friend Tommy
welcome him home, but they sense Oliver has been changed by his ordeal
on the island. While Oliver hides the truth about the man he's become,
he desperately wants to make amends for the actions he took as the boy
he was. Most particularly, he seeks reconciliation with his former
girlfriend, Laurel Lance. As Oliver reconnects with those closest to
him, he secretly creates the persona of Arrow - a vigilante to right the
wrongs of his family, fight the ills of society, and restore Starling
City to its former glory. By day, Oliver plays the role of a wealthy,
carefree and careless philanderer he used to be - flanked by his devoted
chauffeur/bodyguard, John Diggle - while carefully concealing the
secret identity he turns to under cover of darkness. However, Laurel's
father, Detective Quentin Lance, is determined to arrest the vigilante
operating in his city. Meanwhile, Oliver's own mother, Moira, knows much
more about the deadly shipwreck than she has let on and is more
ruthless than he could ever imagine.
