Unconventional warfare is something of a theme at one point, Michael says, "Guns make you dumb. All of the members of this team are very good at crafting primitive explosive devices and homemade spy gear out of household items. From Season Four onwards, the team is joined by Jesse Porter, another former spy who was burned - accidentally - by Michael. Michael relies on Fiona Glenanne (his girlfriend and a former IRA operative) and Sam Axe (a retired spy/ex-Navy SEAL who Michael worked with in the past) to watch his back as he takes on con artists, mobsters, gang leaders, and various other underworld riff-raff.
While these tasks take up the majority of an episode, time is also spent on Michael's various attempts to figure out who in the government burned him (and why), as well as his interpersonal relationships with his friends and family. These problems usually involve saving said clients from various life-threatening situations, mostly of the "good guy gets deep in debt to bad guys" variety. Michael doesn't have any money or income, and he can't exactly get a job recommendation from his former employers - to make ends meet, he reluctantly accepts clients from around the Miami area and works to help them with their problems under the table. Michael is lucky, though: he has family, friends, and an old girlfriend there. Michael's burn notice happens right in the midst of a covert mission he barely escapes, passes out on a plane, and eventually wakes up in Miami.
