Piper Perabo stars in Covert Affairs as gutsy (but green) CIA trainee Annie Walker, a well-traveled language whiz who finds herself promoted to the far more dangerous post of field operative some 30 days shy of her graduation date. Her superiors (including fractious married couple Peter Gallagher and Kari Matchett) say the CIA needs someone with Annie's knack for linguistics. But as the plot thickens, it becomes clear that they've got bigger plans for her. Christopher Gorham co-stars as a fellow agent who lost his eyesight on the job.
