What is the plot of Breaking Bad?
Walter H. White is a chemistry virtuoso, yet he fills in as a chemistry educator in an Albuquerque, New Mexico, secondary school. His life radically changes when he's determined to have stage III terminal cellular breakdown in the lungs, and given a short measure of time left to live: a simple matter of months. To guarantee his debilitated child and his pregnant spouse have a financial future, Walt utilizes his chemistry foundation to make and sell the world's best crystal methamphetamine.
To sell "blue meth," he collaborates with Jesse Pinkman, a previous understudy of his. The meth makes them exceptionally rich rapidly; however, it draws the attention of his DEA brother-in-law Hank. As Walt and Jesse's status in the drug world heightens, Walt turns into a hazardous lawbreaker, and Jesse turns into a hot-headed sales rep. Hank is dependably hot on his tail, and it powers Walt to think of better approaches to cover his tracks.
