In the first episode of the new season the case of 17-year-old Benjamin Elliott, whose defense team says he was sleepwalking when he fatally stabbed his twin sister is explored.

The program was created by former CBS News president Howard Stringer. It drew its title, inspiration and original format from the CBS News documentary 48 Hours on Crack Street, which aired in September 1986, centering on the drug crisis plaguing a number of U.S. neighborhoods. Like the original documentary, the program originally focused on showing events occurring within a 48-hour time span; this format was eventually phased out by the early 1990s.
