Michael Scofield does not enter prison as a victim; he enters as part of a plan calculated down to the smallest detail. His brother Lincoln Burrows is waiting on death row for a crime Michael believes he did not commit, so the quiet engineer chooses the impossible: he commits a crime on purpose to get into the same prison, carrying the escape blueprint on his own body. But what begins as a precise rescue mission quickly expands into a larger fight against guards, inmates, betrayals, and a political conspiracy reaching far beyond the prison walls. Prison Break builds its tension around one relentless question: can one man’s brilliance save his brother from a system determined to bury the truth?
