Walter White (Bryan Cranston) is an unappreciated high school chemistry teacher in Albuquerque, New Mexico, who’s just been diagnosed with lung cancer. Worried about the medical expenses and his family’s future if he should die, Walt realizes—after riding along on a meth lab raid with his DEA agent brother-in-law Hank (Dean Norris)—that there’s a lot of quick money to be made in cooking meth. And since Walt knows the science, it seems like an obvious opportunity. But the thing is, Walt’s also a perfectionist. So when he decides to take advantage of this new criminal enterprise, Walt seeks out Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), a former student who (it turns out) owned the raided lab, and together they end up making the best meth on the street, a substance that quickly becomes known as “Blue” to both its enthusiastic customers and law enforcement. Blue is so good, in fact, that it completely upends the local drug trade, upsetting the kingpins who control it. Before long, Walt—who earns the nickname “Heisenberg” on the street—and Jesse find themselves in the eye of a hurricane, as various cartels fight over their product and services, and the DEA attempts to identify and find them, then put them out of business for good. But even as they gain ever more powerful enemies, the pair recruits a hitman/cleaner named Mike (Jonathan Banks) to protect their interests and a sleazy lawyer named Saul (Bob Odenkirk) to help them stay ahead of the law. And when Walt’s wife Skyler (Anna Gunn) begins to realize that something’s up with her husband, the lengths to which Walt and Jesse must go to hide their scheme grow ever more extreme.
