Sentenced to fifteen months for a crime committed in her youth, Piper Chapman leaves her supportive fiance Larry for her new home: a women's prison.

When her sighting of a legendary feral chicken polarizes the inmates, Larry wonders if Piper is getting too absorbed in the "fishbowl" of prison life.

Red's scheme to reclaim her kitchen backfires; the inmates stage a Christmas pageant; Piper's plans unravel even as she realizes her life is in jeopardy.

Piper's world is turned upside down when she is forced to confront the consequences of her actions and face new challenges.

A mock Job Fair provides Taystee with a chance to show off her business smarts; Red feels isolated from her prison family.
