His suspicions are confirmed when a man breaks into her house to leave her thousands of dollars and incriminating photos to aid her in divorcing her husband. Finn is determined to protect Emma, and Emma is grateful to him since she has no one else to turn to.

When Emma is kidnapped it is up to Finn to put the pieces of the puzzle together and save Emma from an unidentifiable enemy.
