Virgil, an ex-Navy Seal who once saved Sam’s life, is beaten when he tries to repossess a speed boat from a gang of Jamaicans. Virgil hires Michael to finish the job he started. When Michael attempts to return the boat to Virgil’s client, he finds that the client is a crooked cop and that there is ten million dollars hidden in the boat. Michael knows that both Jamaicans and crooked cops will come looking for Virgil so he hides him at his mom’s house, never imaging a romance could be sparked between the two. Not surprisingly both the Jamaicans and the cops want the money. Posing as Homer, one of Virgil’s devoted employees, Michael must negotiate a solution. Michael promises the money to both, and is able to keep them at bay long enough to devise a plan. The plan is quickly abandoned when Virgil is kidnapped while by the Jamaicans while out on a date with Madeline. All of this leads to a deserted bridge where the money is set on fire and shootout ensues between the cops and Jamaicans. Michael is able to escape with Virgil and some of the money with the assistance of both Fiona and Sam.

As if he wasn’t busy enough, Michael must also contend with a CSS agent who refuses to identify himself.  The agent tries to bully Michael into forgetting about his burn notice. Michael is able to outwit the agent his identity with the help of Fiona’s skill as a pick pocket.
