What Season 5 of Burn Notice

Michael Westen begins the season trapped in Miami, with no bank accounts, no contacts and the agency keeping a close eye on his every move. Although he remains on the blacklist, he works with the CIA to catch those who betrayed him, and that collaboration takes him to Venezuela. Meanwhile, he takes on small-time private investigator jobs alongside Fiona and Sam, and his mother Madeline completes the team. Each job brings him closer to whoever burned him. Agent Pearce plays a key role in his missions for the agency, and Jesse takes part in several of them.
