Probably television’s most innovative drama series yet, 24 covers a 24-hour period, from midnight to midnight. Each episode reveals one hour in the life of the characters, told in real time. As the clock strikes 12, Jack Bauer, CTU operative, is forced to listen to his wife ranting about their rebellious teenage daughter Kimberly. But Jack can’t deal with family now – he has been summoned to his office. A Senator who is also a serious candidate for the US Presidency, is about to be assassinated. To make matters worse, it is believed that a mole within the unit is leaking information out of the CTU office, putting the perpetrators one step ahead of the lawmakers in a deadly game of cat and mouse. Meanwhile, Kimberly is having some fun of her own – but soon, she will know that she is part of a kidnapping plot – and in real trouble. ...and the clock ticks on.
