Suggested by phoenix88
The third chapter of Ollyverse serves as the first official crossover between the two prior chapters. The story of Family Ties focuses on Tommy Bones, as he moves to Los Santos in pursuit of his archnemesis CC, but ends up becoming the leader of L.S.P.D. and helping protect the city from various threats, now that the Carvengers are no more. Each season features a standalone story, with the first one heavily focusing on CC, who, after evading capture in CoT, moves to Los Santos to live with his sister Freya and embarks on a redemption journey with the encouragement from Freya and her boyfriend, Mayor Zack. Zack is, meanwhile, struggling with his own demons, balancing his relationship with Freya, solving another financial crisis in Los Santos, understanding his newfound abilities, trying to solve the case of Benjamin Dover's murder with the assistance of Leighton Airey, as well as letting his darkness run rampant during grim torture sessions with the imprisoned, and paralyzed, Professor Barn. Things get increasingly complicated when the city's new investor is revealed to be CC and Freya's mother, whom they haven't seen in decades. Tommy soon arrives, seeking a way to bring Antonio to justice, all the while a sinister plan hatches in the shadows. Adam Montoya, the unseen main villain of GoLS and Antonio's former lover-turned-nemesis, forces friends, foes and frenemies to join forces in order to protect those they care about, even if they don't want to be protected.
