Michael agrees to help two young women get out from under a blackmail scheme in which they are being forced to smuggle heroin.  At the same time, Michael tries to arrange a meeting with Philip Cowan, the man who burned him.
Michael must work his underworld contacts in Miami to rescue Sam who's being held hostage by a former Special Forces unit involved in heroin smuggling. At the same time he must evade government agents who are after him.
Michael comes to the aid of a woman whose estranged husband has disappeared with her son. He tracks down the husband, and finds himself matched against an opponent just as skilled and deadly as he is but more ruthless.

A cool show with lots of potential, 8 July 2007
8/10
Author: sixtwentysix from Denver, CO

This show has stylish, cheaply made and lots of fun. Donovan has a lot of charisma but Bruce Campbell and the other supporting cast really make this show pop. Miami is great location for this show. In the future it would be cool to see it move around season to season. The show is smartly written and avoids most of the spy standards. It would be nice if they reduced the amount of voice over. It tends to distract from the suspense, but it's not driving me nuts or anything.

I'll keep watching to see where this show goes, I think it has a lot of potential and is a great, light, fun summer watch.

USA appears to have a winner on its hands with this new summer show!
