Amanda Clarke? Emily Thorne? Who is who, and why is there confusion to begin with?

A tale of torture, betrayal, hurt, and love, Revenge will have you rooting for the bad guy.

Amanda Clarke was only a little girl when her father was taken from her. Charged for a crime he didn’t commit, David Clarke spent 20 years separated from his daughter. Killed in prison (???), Amanda goes on to avenge her father’s framing and death in prison. In order to do so, she needs a new identity; Emily Thorne.

Set in the Hamptons, Revenge lets you live vicariously amongst the rich, seeing into the daily lives of Victoria, Conrad, Charlotte, and Daniel Grayson.

Does Amanda get revenge at the end of our journey through 4 seasons? Does she get answers? Does she find true love?
