The official synopsis for Bosco reads: “In 2006, over two million Americans were incarcerated, but only one managed to escape a federal maximum-security wing while under 24-hour surveillance- Quawntay “Bosco” Adams. For the chance to be at his first child’s birth, he planned an ingenious escape with the help of a lonely Missouri woman that he meets by replying to a personal ad.”
What to Know About Bosco Before Watching
The crime drama is inspired by Adams’ memoir Chasin’ Freedum, which he published in 2017 in response to major sympathy from the public towards his story, according to his website.
