What's that show about? Like in a nutshell?
So in a nutshell, the gov't (I guess the VPotUS was behind it at first) set up this poor sap and framed him for killing the VP's bro. The guy got expedited onto death row and was heading for an execution at blinding speed. His brother is some kind of genius (that's Wentworth Miller.. pause for reflection... *sigh*) Anywho... yeah so Wentworth's character plans this intricate prison break which includes all this genius forethought. Like he worked for a subcontractor who built the prison so he had the blueprint tatooed on his whole upper body of course it was disguised pretty good. He did all of this preparation, studying other inmates, guards, etc., and then walked in a bank, fired a gun into the ceiling and claimed to be robbing it. He mounted no defense and got locked up. Basically, the gov't tried to kill him, have him transferred, kill the lawyers who discovered the framing of his brother, and kill his brother himself, but after numerous obstacles they break out, and the rest of the series is them on the run. It's a GOOD show... made better by WM...
