Synopsis
Five contestants are given five locked bags. Four contain blank paper, one contains £100,000 in cash. The team must then embark on a grueling three-day trek across the wilderness, covering exhausting distances and overcoming dangerous obstacles along the way.
If they make it to the finish line within the time limit they split the contents of their bags between them. But as the harrowing expedition takes its toll some team members may drop out, taking their bags and possibly the total prize-money with them.
The show builds to the final reveal as the remaining contestants find the combination code to unlock their bags at the finish line. But will the money have even made it?
