Walt knows his life on earth is limited and he must make as much money as he can to take care of his family. This regular guy decides to cook meth with Jessie (Aaron Paul), a past druggie student of his who makes his living selling meth. Walt transforms from a bland, unhappy, unassuming guy into a wheeler dealer, a fearless purveyor of drugs who is finally living life to the fullest.
