Taking place in Albuquerque, New Mexico, spanning the years 2008 to 2010, Breaking Bad chronicles the transformative journey of Walter White. Initially a struggling and disillusioned high school chemistry teacher, Walter embarks on a treacherous path, ultimately ascending to the position of an unyielding kingpin within the local methamphetamine drug trade.

This desperate metamorphosis is driven by his urgent need to secure financial stability for his family after receiving a devastating diagnosis of inoperable lung cancer. Together with his former student, Jesse Pinkman, Walter initially produces modest quantities of meth using a mobile laboratory.

However, as their enterprise gains momentum, they venture into the production of larger batches of a distinctively potent and coveted product known as "blue meth." To shield his true identity, Walter adopts the pseudonym "Heisenberg."

As the consequences of his illicit endeavors unfold, Walter finds himself entangled in a web of conflicts with his own family, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), through his brother-in-law Hank Schrader, local criminal syndicates, and Mexican drug cartels, including their regional distributors. These perilous circumstances continually jeopardize the lives of Walter and his loved ones.
