Plot Synopsis

Hosted by Alan Cumming and based on the Dutch TV series DE VERRADERS, THE TRAITORS is a 10-episode reality series that features 20 larger-than-life personalities (including reality A-listers and America's best game players) who come together to complete a series of challenges with the objective of earning a cash prize of up to $250,000. The catch? Three of the contestants coined "the traitors" devise a plan to steal the prize from the other contestants coined "the faithful." Set in a remote castle in the Scottish Highlands, this game of manipulation and deceit, has Cumming pulling the strings of the cast to create the ultimate 'whodunit'.

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.
