Michael is in the midst of negotiating with a Russian expat over the security for a Nigerian oil field when, out of nowhere, he's informed that a burn notice has been issued on him and he's out of the game. Unfortunately, the Russian takes this poorly. Michael manages to kill the men taking him to the money and escape the country. Woken by a kick in the back, Michael finds himself in his childhood home, Miami, Florida. He finds that he's being followed by the FBI.
