Story and premise

The show features a social experiment element. In each episode, two hard-working American families experiencing financial setbacks are presented by the show's producers with a briefcase containing $101,000 and a potentially life-altering decision: they can keep all of the money for themselves, or give all or part of it to another family in need.
