Storage Wars follows professional buyers and their teams as they scour repossessed storage units in search of hidden treasure.

Each episode of Storage Wars follows a group of bidders as they get a quick peek inside the units, aided only by the beam of a flashlight.

The high-stakes fun begins as we see if the resulting buy is full of mostly trash... or true treasure.
