What Season 1 of Revenge

Emily Thorne is the name Amanda Clarke takes on to return to The Hamptons, a coastal town of very wealthy families.

Now she arrives as a new neighbor with one goal: to take revenge on those who destroyed her family. Her main target is Victoria Grayson, the queen of the local high society. Emily gets close to this circle, where every secret she uncovers brings new lies and dangers. Adding to the mix is a love triangle with Daniel Grayson and a face from her forgotten past.
