New reality competition series "The Summit" forces a group of strangers to climb Mount Head in the Southern Alps of New Zealand together if they want a cash prize. However, only a few will actually make it to the summit. Throughout their journey contestants carry the $1 million prize pot evenly distributed amongst themselves as they attempt to reach several checkpoint camps, where they vote someone out. Along the way, they must conquer obstacles and are forced to make difficult decisions presented by what's called "The Mountain Keeper." If the group fails to reach the summit in 14 days they all go home empty handed.
