The title refers back to the burn notices issued by intelligence businesses to discredit or announce the dismissal of agents or sources who're thought of to have become unreliable. When spies are burned, they are wiped off the grid, without access to cash or influence. According to the narration through the opening credit, the burned spy has no prior work historical past, no money; in essence, no identity. The television series is a primary-particular person narrative (including frequent voice-overs providing exposition) from the perspective of covert-operations agent Michael Westen, performed by Jeffrey Donovan.

After fleeing a Nigerian operation blown aside by the sudden and unexplained non-cooperation of his U.S. contact, Westen finds himself in his hometown of Miami, Florida, attended to by his ex-girlfriend, Fiona Glenanne, however deserted by all his regular intelligence contacts, below steady surveillance with his personal property frozen. Extraordinary efforts to succeed in his U.S. government handler ultimately yield solely a grudging admission that somebody powerful needs him “on ice” in Miami; if he leaves the town he will likely be hunted down and taken into custody, whereas by staying there he can stay comparatively free. Consumed by the need to seek out out why he has been burned, and by whom, Westen goes to work as an unlicensed personal investigator, spy, or soldier of fortune for anybody on the town who pays him any cash with a purpose to fund his personal investigation into his personal situation as a blacklisted agent. The collection juggles these two narratives, with the general series dealing with why Michael was burned and individual episodes specializing in the instances he works for clients. Although reluctant to get entangled in the issues of others, Westen invariably finally ends up serving to people unrelated to his personal investigation in virtually every single episode.
