Line 5:
Emily Thorne ([[Emily Van Camp]]) is new to the Hamptons. She's met some of her wealthy neighbors, has made a few new friends and seemingly blends into the town. But something is a little odd about a young girl living in a wealthy town all on her own, and the truth is that Emily isn't exactly new to the neighborhood. In fact, this was once her old neighborhood, until something bad happened that ruined her family and their reputation. Now Emily is back, and she's returned to right some of those wrongs in the best way she knows how -- with a vengeance.
A modern retelling of [[Alexandre Dumas]]' ''[[The Count of Monte Cristo (novel)|The Count of Monte Cristo]]''.

Line 171:
* [[Shout-Out]]:
** One neighborhood fixture is the [[Dallas (1978 TV series)|South Fork]] Inn, quite appropriate for a soapy revenge tale.
** Emily's therapist has a copy of [[The Count of Monte Cristo (novel)|The Count of Monte Cristo]] on her bookshelf.
** Nolan refers to Emily as his "girl with the infinity tatoo," recognizing her similarity with Lisbet Salander, [[The Millennium Trilogy|the girl with the dragon tatoo]].
* [[Shipper on Deck]]: Nolan seems to be shipping Jack/Emily, although his motives remain unclear. It's possible he just wants to anchor her to her happy past and not lose herself in the revenge. The two are also the closest things he has to actual friends/relationships.
