Dwayne Johnson has a problem with problems. So he sets out to be the solution to the problem. Everyday people facing enormous challenges lean on "The Rock," a man whose hard work, inner strength and sense of personal motivation helped him to escape poverty and achieve success. Dwayne Johnson uses his experiences to aid those who are down on their luck, reminding them that having discipline, passion and goals can accomplish a lot. He visits dysfunctional homes, encounters deadbeat dads, works with struggling sports teams, and checks in on cash-strapped businesses to give inspirational wake-up calls. Each episode features a celebrity friend of Johnson as a guest mentor, including UFC President Dana White, chef Rocco DiSpirito, celebrity stylist Jeannie Mai, and rapper/producer Juicy J.
