An intriguing, multi-character format about masterminding the ultimate prison break.
MICHAEL’s brother LINCOLN is on death row and scheduled to die in a few months for an assassination Michael is convinced he did not commit. With no other options and time winding down, Michael holds up a bank to get himself incarcerated alongside his brother in the State Penitentiary. Once inside, Michael – a structural engineer with the blueprints for the prison – begins to execute an elaborate plan to break out Lincoln and prove him innocent, aligning himself with a disparate group of prisoners while an array of authority figures keep their eye on him. On the outside, Michael’s ally is his attorney and Lincoln’s former girlfriend. Meanwhile, Lincoln’s 15-year-old son, LJ, is now adrift without his uncle Michael’s positive influence in his life.
Each episode reveals additional pieces of the puzzle as Michael carries out his daring plan to escape – and solve the far-reaching national-scale conspiracy that landed his brother there in the first place.
