Seven years after the events of Season 5, the world believes Michael Scofield is finally free. He’s living a quiet life under a new identity in Costa Rica with Sara and their son Mike Jr. But freedom is fleeting. When an encrypted message reaches Lincoln—allegedly from Michael, but written in a code only the two of them know—he realizes something is wrong. Michael has vanished without a trace. Soon after, the CIA reopens a covert file labeled “Project Hydra,” revealing that Michael’s escape from the previous prison was only the beginning of a much larger conspiracy.
As Lincoln gathers the old team—Sucre, C-Note, and a reluctant T-Bag—they uncover clues pointing to a black site prison located in Eastern Europe known as Vozrozhdeniye, a facility so secret it doesn’t exist on any map. There, political prisoners, hackers, and former intelligence operatives are kept in total isolation. Michael is being held not for what he’s done—but for what he knows. During his time in Yemen, Michael uncovered an AI surveillance algorithm capable of crashing global infrastructure, and someone wants that knowledge erased—permanently.
Inside Vozrozhdeniye, Michael isn’t just surviving—he’s planning. With only a chalkboard, string, and fragments of code scratched into walls, he’s mapped out the routines of guards, the air circulation system, and even the psychological profiles of fellow inmates. Meanwhile, Sara and Mike Jr. are placed under federal surveillance, leading to a harrowing chase through Washington D.C. as they attempt to decrypt the key Michael left behind—an old chessboard with one piece missing. Each move leads to another riddle, another truth buried beneath the lies.
The season builds toward an explosive escape unlike any the show has attempted before: not just from a prison of walls, but from a prison of information. Michael must destroy the algorithm before it falls into the wrong hands—while keeping his family alive. In the final scenes, a storm engulfs the facility. Helicopters hover, gunfire echoes, and for a moment, it seems like Michael won’t make it. But as the dust settles, he emerges once more—bruised, brilliant, and more determined than ever. Freedom isn’t given, he whispers—it’s built. And this time, he's tearing down the entire system.
