Breaking Bad followed the life story of Walter White, a poor high school chemistry teacher who was diagnosed with lung cancer. After his cancer diagnosis, Walter White decided to 'cook' crystal methamphetamine to pay for his cancer treatment and to amass enough money to support his family even after his death. Walter soon learns the basics of the drug trade with the help of his former student, Jesse Pinkman. 

Over the course of 5 seasons, Walter White turned into a deadly drug lord who was feared throughout the state. Eventually, his identity was leaked to the police after a confrontation with his partner, Jesse Pinkman. But by the end of season 5, Walter White manages to return to Albuquerque to avenge his brother in law's death and to indirectly give his remaining money to his son. However, in the last episode, he gets shot and passes away, while Jesse Pinkman manages to escape the police.
