DESCRIPTION
This heart-stopping competition series, from executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer, pits ordinary people against professional investigators. The contestants are given a briefcase containing $100,000 and have one hour to hide it. The detectives then have 48 hours to find the briefcase. The detectives are able to work with professional interrogators. Other than that, all they have to go on are cell-phone records, receipts and GPS coordinates from the contestants' car. If the detectives find the briefcase within the 48 hours, they keep the cash. If not, the contestants get the money.
