TV Review: In Plain Sight Written by Mel Odom



In Plain Sight is a USA Original series that just started up this summer.

Centered around the Department of Justice's Witness Security Program

(WitSec), the series promises emotional, comedic, and action-packed

tales of the men, women, and children put under federal protection in

exchange for their testimonies against hardened criminals who want them

dead.

Mary McCormack stars as Federal Marshal Mary Shannon, a down-to-earth,

no-nonsense agent who is caught between a stress-filled job and her

mother (Leslie Ann Warren) and sister (Nikki Hiltz), both of whom seem

intent on leeching off of her. She's supported in her crime-busting

work by her boss (Paul Ben-Victor) and fellow marshal Marshall Mann

(Fred Weller).



The premise is that every week Mary is going to confront some aspect of

witness protection that shows the real-life problems dealt with by these

federal agents.
