Welcome to witness protection. Now get lost.

On USA Network
A procedural-comedy hybrid about a U.S. Marshal balancing witness protection cases with family chaos, sustained by character warmth and humor rather than high stakes.
U.S. Marshal Mary Shannon must hunt down witnesses for federal cases in the witness protection program while also managing a rather dysfunctional family and her own personal life.
