Based on a popular Dutch series of the same name and hosted by an actor Alan Cumming, the network touts it as a “psychological adventure where betrayal and deceit are the name of the game”. The 20 contestants (both celebrity and non-celebrity) “come together to complete a series of challenges with the goal of winning a cash prize” that could be worth as much as $250,000.
