CONCEPT An IRS agent (Derek Cecil) investigates shady business dealings in tiny Push, Nev. Plus, it's a game show: The viewer who finds the money that the fictional IRS man is looking for wins over a million smackers, which will change his or her own IRS status.

THE SCOOP Exec producer Sean Bailey says of this show from Ben Affleck's production company, LivePlanet: ''We wanted to do an antihero who was interested in a [moral] code. He's an incorruptible man in a very crooked world.'' As far as the game goes, there are clues scattered throughout each episode. What kind of clues? All Bailey will say is ''The conspiracy runs very deep.''

BOTTOM LINE Well acted and zippy. But it's stuck on Thursdays opposite ''CSI,'' so maybe ABC should be giving away money to viewers who just find the show.
