Premise

Opening introduction (narrated by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson):

Life is anything but predictable. By the time I was 23 years old, I had multiple arrests. My family was evicted. My dream of being a pro football player was shattered. I had 7 bucks in my pocket. That's when I made a choice. I rebuilt myself, and I started over. This show is about real people picking themselves up and saying, "I can do better." The people I'll be helping—everyday Americans down on their luck. If you're willing to meet me halfway and challenge yourself…you've got the power to change your life. It's time to make a choice. It's time to take a stand. It's time for your wake up call.
