• Breaking Bad Overview

  Walter White is diagnosed with terminal cancer and turns to manning a rolling drug lab to finance his family's future. He partners with an ex-student (played by Aaron Paul), who previously failed White's class while he was still in high school. To make things a bit more complicated, his brother-in-law is an agent for the DEA and is actively investigating the source of the city's new type of crystal methamphetamine, which owes it's level of purity to White's knowledge of chemistry.
