Based on the U.S. best-selling memoir by Piper Kerman, "Orange Is the New Black" is a comedic drama set in a women's prison that tells the story of engaged Brooklyn-ite Piper Chapman, whose decade-old relationship with drug-runner Alex results in her arrest and year-long detention in a federal penitentiary. To pay her debt to society, Piper must trade her comfortable New York life with fiance Larry for an orange prison jumpsuit and a baffling prison culture where she is forced to question everything she believes and form unexpected new alliances with a group of eccentric and outspoken inmates.
