When Michael Westen wakes up in a dingy Miami hotel room, he quickly realizes something is wrong. His personal belongings have been seized, and his assets frozen. A quick flashback reveals that Michael was in Nigeria on a contract when he was suddenly burned by his own agency. With no explanation given, Michael is left to fend for himself. His agency-supplied medical alert bracelet acts as a homing beacon which brings him face-to-face with two agents who are there to take him in. Michael quickly demonstrates his skills in hand-to-hand combat, and the agents are left unconscious.

Desperate for answers, Michael turns to an old friend, Fiona Glenanne, who also happens to be his ex-girlfriend. Fi is a tough-as-nails former IRA member who has a soft spot for Michael. She's not thrilled to see him after he broke her heart, but when Michael spills the beans about his circumstances, Fi is willing to lend a helping hand.

Michael is also tasked with helping out a down-on-her-luck woman named Mrs. Davis who believes her mortgage broker is committing fraud. Michael taps into his spy skillset by prepping her home with cameras and digging into her broker's confidential files to determine his scam. Michael's sleuthing ultimately ends up with him having to confront Mrs. Davis' dirty broker for answers.

In the meantime, Michael is still trying to figure out who burned him, and why. He sneaks into a nearby agency building to hack into their mainframe and download all of his personal files. He uncovers a nugget of information that suggests he may have been burned for "going off-book" in his latest assignment. He also realizes that he's being monitored via the bracelet.

To throw his agency off his trail, Michael returns his unconscious captors to their boss. He tells the boss he can trust him and that he wants to know who burned him as much as they do. The boss seems to buy it, but Michael knows he'll have to be clever if he wants to avoid being captured again.

Later, Michael finally gets a lead on who might be responsible for his burning. He's approached by a mysterious woman who claims to know who burned him. She offers to help him if Michael can pull off a daring heist on a nearby office building. Michael agrees, and the two of them successfully steal a file with incriminating evidence against the woman's employer.

The episode ends on a cliffhanger when Michael finally tracks down the elusive man who burned him. The man is clearly dangerous and unpredictable, but Michael isn't afraid. He's determined to get to the bottom of his mystery, even if it means putting his life on the line.
