One hundred detectives compete against each other in a mysterious competition, solving mysteries created by criminal masterminds.
The detective who wins receives one million dollars and the opportunity of a lifetime. If a criminal wins, however, they will also receive a million dollars... and parole, no matter the severity of their crime.
