Are you willing to commit a crime and go to jail just to help an imprisoned brother escape?

to save him.

Lincoln Burrows is accused of the murder of Terrence Steadman, the brother of the Vice President of the United States. With strong evidence supporting the charges against him, Lincoln is sentenced to death and is awaiting execution at the Fox River State Penitentiary. His brother, however, is convinced of Lincoln's innocence and formulates an escape plan. Michael Scofield then commits a robbery in order to be incarcerated at Fox River himself, and makes the right connections among the inmates and prison staff to successfully break his brother out. The brothers are aided by their lifelong friend Veronica Donovan, who begins to investigate the conspiracy that put Lincoln in jail. However, they are hindered by covert agents, who belong to an organization known as The Company. The Company was responsible for framing Lincoln and it is not yet known why. The brothers, along with six other inmates, Sucre, T-Bag, C-Note, Tweener, Abruzzi, and Haywire, who come to be known as the Fox River Eight, finally escape.
