Synopsis
A Channel 4 press release said:
- Twelve strangers have come together on the banks of a lake in the beautiful British countryside, with one thing in common – they want to win a life-changing sum of money. They know nothing about the epic challenge that awaits them or what they’ll need to do to win the cash.
- £100,000 lies on an island in the middle of a lake and the twelve must build an 850ft bridge by hand within 20 days in order to reach the prize. It may sound simple but a series of twists and turns along the way offer moral dilemmas, spark rivalries, and put their ability to work together as a team to the test.
If the team does manage to reach the island within 20 days, they have the chance to take home the £100,000 – but must decide amongst themselves who deserves it most. The winner can then decide to share the money with some or all of the others.
