This story begins when Ezra and the crew of the Ghost meet, only Ezra is only 4. Kanan feels close to Ezra. Even though just met. Everyone insists on bringing him on missions, except Kanan who believes it will end horribly.

Aria Conley and her brother Chris went missing four years ago straight off the streets of Brooklyn on the way home from a party. The city was captivated by the story; news crews were always reporting updates, even after eight months when the world began to lose hope. Just a tip, a sign, anything that could possibly lead to the twins discovery would benefit a case without leads. Eight months. The police couldn't waste resources any longer. Four years later, Aria finds herself in the director's chair of Return, the largest private investigative company in the United States. But Return was just a hobby, just something to do to circumvent all the fury clouding her thoughts. The job gave her a purpose- one she assumed could benefit the world until it becomes apparent an outside force is working to bring her company to its knees. Desperate to save Return, Aria juggles the search for her older brother's missing girlfriend, a faceless intruder with a personal grudge that extends as far as threatening the lives of those she loves, and the appearance of a painfully familiar presence- the boy who left her life just as she started to step back into it.
