When Elliot shows up in Manhattan after twelve long years, he comes home to more than he expects. Will the relief of seeing her partner again be enough for Olivia to forgive him and let him into her life?

Elliot and his family have been put into witness protection. Elliot seems to have ticked off people in some high up places. Those same people attack Olivia and she has to go into witness protection. But here's the thing, her and Elliot end up together, and Kathy's new boyfriend happens to be the same man that attacked Olivia. Story is better than the synopsis.
