This new reality series pits 16 modern-day pirates against one another in a series of challenges, deciphering clues as they search for real gold coins. The player who claims the most riches becomes captain of the 179-foot pirate ship where they live, assigning chores to the other crew members, risking mutiny. Each episode climaxes at Pirate's Court, where a player is ``cut adrift'' after discussion and debate. Ultimately, one player will win the $500,000 booty.
