Season 1[]
Marius has spent approximately three years in prison, sharing a cell with Pete Murphy. Two days before his release, his brother Eddie warns him not to return to the city and advises him to hide out somewhere as they owe gangster Vince $100,000. Marius decides to adopt the identity of his cellmate Pete, who is not up for parole for another two years. In their past three years as cell mates, Pete has told him countless stories of his grandparents' farm and their blooming bond business. Since Pete has not seen his grandparents for over 20 years, Marius succeeds in making them believe he is their long lost grandson when he turns up at the farm. However, it turns out the family is not in the financial bond business, but rather runs a small bail bond business, which does not hold the kind of money Marius had hoped for. (Pilot)
