Michael Scofield finds himself in a hopeless situation - his brother Lincoln Burrows has been convicted of murder and sentenced to death at Fox River Prison. Despite all evidence pointing to Lincoln as the murderer, Michael firmly believes in his brother's innocence. As Lincoln's execution date approaches, with no other options available, Michael storms into a bank with a gun and is subsequently arrested, eventually landing him in the same prison as Lincoln. As a structural engineer who participated in the renovation of the prison, Michael knows it inside out. He has devised a complete escape plan, and his sole purpose for entering the prison is to rescue Lincoln, prove his innocence, and set him free.
Lincoln's former girlfriend, Veronica Donovan, serves as the defense lawyer in the murder case. She also believes that Lincoln was framed. As she continues her investigation, Veronica discovers that this is far more than just a simple murder case. The victim's death involved the interests of many powerful figures, with the shadow of the Vice President gradually emerging from behind the scenes. As the investigation deepens, danger also draws closer to Veronica. Witnesses are mysteriously killed one after another, Lincoln's family also suffers misfortune, and the mysterious person pursuing Veronica turns out to be a secret FBI agent.
