In lieu of celebrities and socialites, this iteration of 'The Traitors' invites 22 everyday Americans to Alan Cumming's now-infamous Scottish castle. From among them he will choose who will play as Traitors and who must survive as Faithful.

Set at an ancient castle deep in the Scottish Highlands, contestants work together on a series of missions to build a prize fund worth up to $250,000. Hidden amongst the Faithful are the Traitors, whose goal is to eliminate the Faithful and claim the prize for themselves. Under the cover of darkness, the Traitors murder the Faithful one by one in a treacherous spree while the Faithful try to uncover the Traitors and banish them from the game.

If at the end of the game the remaining Faithful contestants have banished all the Traitors, they share the prize fund, but if a Traitor (or Traitors) is still among them, they win all the money.
