Spies don't get fired, they get burned.

Burn Notice is an American action/adventure series that premiered in June of 2007.

The Plot:
Michael Westen an international spy who suddenly finds himself blacklisted. Dumped in his home town of Miami without money or resources, Michael struggles to put his life back together and find out why he's been burned.

In the meantime, he uses his unique skills and training to help people in need ... mostly people who can't get help from the police.
Michael is joined by Fiona an ex-IRA operative, who also happens to be an ex-girlfriend; and Sam , a washed-out military intelligence contact who's being used by the Feds to keep tabs on Michael.

He's also forced to confront the family he went halfway around the world to get away from - particularly his mother, Madeline who couldn't be happier to have her son back in town.
