A lighthearted, competitive reality show built on the thrill of the gamble and the camaraderie of a recurring cast hunting for treasure in abandoned storage units.

When rent is not paid on a storage locker for three months in California, the contents can be sold by an auctioneer as a single lot of items in the form of a cash-only auction. The show follows professional buyers who purchase the contents based only on a five-minute inspection of what they can see from the door when it is open. The goal is to turn a profit on the merchandise.
