The series follows six well-known public figures as they accompany six people with disabilities while they embark on a variety of highly challenging and exciting adventures across the globe.
In each episode, the celebrity will travel with someone with a serious disability and, in each challenge, the able-bodied will have to simulate the conditions facing the disabled companion in an effort to understand their perspective as well as their own.
Each of the stories is different but with a common thread of shared discovery. Two complete strangers leave their familiar lives behind and embark on the journey of a lifetime, one with challenges both individuals in different ways and their understanding of each other.
