Orange is the new Black (2013 TV series): This TV series is created by Jenji Kohan. The story revolves around Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling), a woman living in New York City, who is sentenced to 15 months in a women's federal prison called Litchfield Penitentiary. She has been convicted of transporting a suitcase full of drug money to her now former girlfriend Alex Vause (Laura Prepon), an international drug smuggler. The offence had occurred 10 years prior to the start of the series, and in that time Piper had moved on to a quiet, law-abiding life and so her sudden and unexpected arrest disrupts her relationships with her fiance and family. In prison, Piper is reunited with Alex (who named Piper in her trial, resulting in her arrest) and they re-examine their relationship and deal with their fellow prisoners. The show often shows flashbacks of significant events from various inmates' pasts. As the story continues, the focus on Piper lessens, so that many inmates form an ensemble cast with many concurrent plot themes.
