Plot Synopsis

Executive produced by Alex Rodriguez, Amber Mazzola, and Michael Strahan, BACK IN THE GAME is a one-hour reality series that follows Alex as he mentors fellow celebrities who have fallen on hard times and need help getting back on their feet. Professional athletes and entertainers are some of the best paid people in the world. But the reality is, their careers are often short-lived and they can find themselves in serious financial distress when the big paychecks stop coming their way. Alex digs deep into their finances and personal struggles, and introduces them to his trusted team of experts to try to launch new careers, repair reputations, build self-esteem and ultimately, get them back on path of financial stability. But after years of living large, will they be willing to listen to their new coach?

In the series premiere, Alex enlists the expertise of his friend, serial entrepreneur, Marcus Lemonis (aka "The Profit") to help former heavyweight champ Evander Holyfield take control of his financial future. Evander may be one of Alex's toughest challenges yet. Larger than life in the ring, with a heart of gold, this heavyweight has definitely had some missteps and his 250 million dollar fortune is dwindling fast. Now, it's up to Alex to help the champ rebuild his brand before he's down for the count.

Additional episodes feature Olympic medalist Ryan Lochte, actress Nicole Eggert, and former AMERICAN IDOL host Brian Dunkleman, who open up about the stories behind their mistakes and humiliation.
