Synopsis

Oliver Queen, the frivolous playboy and reckless thrill-seeker, makes himself known in an extravagant way. After an embarrassing incident, he desires to get away from his life. He sets out on a sea voyage with his trusted bodyguard and friend, Hackett. Much to Oliver's surprise, Hackett betrays him and before he knows it, he finds himself stranded on an island.

On the island, Oliver begins to find his true self. With only a bow and a handful of arrows at his disposal, he sharpens his skills and learns to treasure the things he has. For the first time in a long time, he's actually having fun.

Things take a turn for the worse when Oliver discovers that the island isn't as deserted as he thought it was. A woman called China White has enslaved the island's inhabitants and forced them to grow opium and manufacture heroin. Oliver must take actions into his own hands to save these people and all the while figure out what he wants to do with his life; who he wants to be. On his journey of survival, Oliver discovers what it means to be a hunter and a hero.
