Despite that and everything that's happened within the past year, Olivia agrees to the adoption that the Russo brothers set forth. As long as they follow a certain set of rules.
The Russo brothers haven't seen their baby sister in nine years. When they agree to adopt her after her mother's death, they aren't prepared in the slightest for what she is now. Strange requests, nightly excursions with her binoculars, and an unrelenting fear of letting anyone in start to make everyone question what happened to the sister they knew.
When Olivia finds out that she hasn't yet left her past behind, the problems only become aggravated. While her brothers fight to be let in, she fights to keep them out. But this tug of war can't go on forever.
