Upon his return home to Starling City, Oliver tries to reconnect with his family, friends and former girlfriend, Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy), but she rebuffs him and blames him for her sister's death. He is the only survivor of a violent shipwreck that claimed the life of his father and his girlfriend's sister. The first-season adventures of Arrow (based on DC Comics hero Green Arrow) begin with billionaire playboy Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) being rescued after five years on a remote Pacific island.
