A desperate aerospace CEO asks Nate Ford – an insurance investigator who once specialized in recovering stolen goods worth millions – to lead a team of expert thieves to recover airplane designs from the rival company that took them. But there's a twist: the designs were never the CEO's to begin with. Now, the honest man he hired must convince the band of criminals to do the right thing... steal the plans back.

Time is running out, and Michael must enlist the help of his cellmate Sucre to help execute his elaborate escape plan. But Sucre wants no part of it and asks for a cell transfer, and Michael’s new cellmate Haywire is even worse than he sounds. Meanwhile, Veronica meets a woman who may be able to help stop Lincoln’s execution.

When Haywire sees through Michael’s plans, it further delays his timetable for an escape. Meanwhile, Sucre has a change of heart and Lincoln’s nightmares about his execution intensify. Outside the walls, Veronica teams with an advocacy lawyer who may be driven by more than justice.

Kellerman and Hale pay a visit to Warden Pope, whose past may not be as angelic as it appears. Meanwhile, Michael learns he may be getting out of Fox River much sooner than he expected – without Lincoln. Outside the walls, Veronica and Nick’s investigation to prove Lincoln’s innocence gives her doubts of her own.

Michael turns up the heat to break through to the other side of his cell wall and outside forces plan to move up Lincoln’s execution day. Meanwhile, a full-scale riot in the prison threatens lives and gives T-Bag an opportunity to uncover a startling secret. Outside the walls, Veronica and Nick track a lead to Washington, DC.
