In each episode (8x60'), Stephen Mangan welcomes 10 pairs of contestants. As they check into the luxury Caribbean resort, they are each given a briefcase. One case contains the £250,000 jackpot, eight are empty, and one contains an Early Checkout Card. Whichever
pair is holding the final case at the end of each episode is eliminated.
The contestants try to uncover who has which case through various challenges, with the viewers at home in the loop as to who has what.
