Lincoln Burrows is on death row for the murder of the vice president's brother. He insists he's innocent and only his brother Michael Scofield believes him. An engineer who helped design the prison where Lincoln is being held, Michael takes drastic measures to help his brother. He gets himself arrested and sent to the same prison so that with his knowledge of the building the two of them can escape together. However while inside Michael discovers a massive conspiracy that is determined to see Lincoln's sentence carried out. Breaking out will be more difficult than he thought, but he's still going to try.

Fantastic show! I caught the 2nd episode on Five last week, after missing the 1st. I wanted more... so now I've watched the all 13 episodes aired so far over the weekend and I am completely hooked.

Gotta wait till the 20th March for the season to resume. A long painful wait!
