Social experiment in which 14 people are given fugitive status and go on the run, taking extreme measures to avoid detection as expert 'hunters' track them down. The contenders must hit the ground running to make a daring escape from Stansted Airport and stay on the run for 21 days to win a share of £100,000 - but every move they make is tracked by facial recognition cameras.

One of the fugitives is travelling solo and Chief Ray Howard is determined there will be no escape this time. A pair of fugitives make difficult choices in Essex when the hunters are directly on their trail.
