Piper Chapman is living the normal life of a woman in her thirties including the job, the friends and the relationship. Then one of her past indiscretions decides to catch up with her in a very big way. She is indicted for running drug money; an incident that happened ten years before when she was dating a drug dealer. She is then sentenced to 15 months in prison, a place she never thought she would end up and a place is she completely unprepared for at all.
