About the show
The Pitch: You get one million dollars to spend over the next seven days. A camera crew follows your every move and broadcasts your adventures on national television.
The Hook: At the end of the week … you die.
The Best Part: The viewing audience gets to vote on the method of your death!
For hard-luck Eldon Phelps, the deal is irresistible. But does America have the stomach for this much reality?
What would you do if you had one week until you became … The Dead Guy?
