The Premise
Johnnie McGarrett grew up in the quiet shadow of her grandfather, John McGarrett, while her father, Steve, was away on classified SEAL missions. For Johnnie, "Dad" was a voice on a satellite phone and a photo on the mantle. When her grandfather is tragically killed, her world is upended-not just by grief, but by the permanent return of a father she barely knows.
The Conflict
As Steve takes command of the Five-0 task force, he tries to apply his "Super SEAL" parenting style to a headstrong teenager who has already learned how to survive on her own. Johnnie has her grandfather's grit and her mother's intuition, making her a formidable force that Steve isn't prepared to manage. Steve didn't know that Johnnie has a boyfriend a naval aviator LT Jake "Hangman" Seresin.
The Heart of the Story
The story explores the rebuilding of a fractured family. While Steve hunts for his father's killers and establishes Five-0, he must also learn how to be a father to a girl who grew up without him. Johnnie, in turn, must decide if she wants to follow in the dangerous footsteps of the McGarrett men or forge a new path for herself in the islands she calls home.
