CBS this summer will invite a dozen families to open The Briefcase and then decide what to do with its contents — $101,000. The six-week series, debuting Wednesday, May 27 at 8/7c, presents hard-working American families experiencing financial setbacks with a briefcase containing not just the aforementioned sum but with it 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.
The twist: Unbeknownst to either party, the “other family in need†has also received a briefcase loaded with $101K, and has 72 hours to assess the other brood’s burden and decide how much if any of their windfall they will part with. (Source: tvline.com)
