John Diggle (David Ramsey) and Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards) help Oliver in his campaign. He reveals Malcolm Merlyn's (John Barrowman) scheme to crush 'The Glades', a more unfortunate area of the city that has become abrogated with wrongdoing. Oliver revives his connections, while going through his evenings chasing down and once in a while executing criminals as a hooded vigilante, known as The Hood. In the first season, Oliver comes back to Starling City and is brought together with his mom, Moira (Susanna Thompson), his sister, Thea (Willa Holland), and his companion, Tommy Merlyn (Colin Donnell).
The series follows very rich person playboy Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell), who professed to have gone through five years wrecked on Lian Yu, a strange island in the North China Sea, before getting back to Starling City (later renamed 'Star City') to battle wrongdoing and debasement as a mystery vigilante whose weapon of decision is a bow and arrow.
