Can You Find Mary?

Posted June 8th, 2008 by faith

USA Network’s new original series In Plain Sight premiered last June 1, 2008 showcasing a new storyline based on the responsibilities of agents working under the Witness Protection Program. While most popular TV series at present revolve around various jobs of crime investigators such as CSI or Dexter, In Plain Sight features the dilemma and difficulties of Witness Protection agents who protects the identities of their witnesses and oftentimes their own.

One of the characters in the series is Mary Shannon (played by Mary McCormack) who keeps her job a secret to her mother and sister. Protecting witnesses with targets painted on their foreheads is hardly a job any mother would be proud of. Her job not only entails protecting witnesses from harm, but also playing several parts in the witness’ transition to a new life. More often than not, she plays therapist, best friend, maid of honor, mother, and homicide agent.

A job that places the life of a witness in your hands plus the justice that depends on the witness staying alive is not a job for most. But for Mary Shannon, keeping herself and the witness hidden in plain sight is the name of the game. Would you like to play a game? Find Mary in the blog hidden in plain sight.
