Kiefer Sutherland stars in this precedent-setting television series from executive producers Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran, Ron Howard, Brian Grazer and Tony Krantz. The entire series takes place in one day, with each of the 24 episodes covering one hour.
Episode one begins at midnight, on the day of the California Presidential Primary. Jack Bauer is finishing a game of chess with his daughter, Kimberly. At 15, Kimberly has learned other games as well - for example, blaming her mother Teri for the marital struggles that caused Jack to move out of the house temporarily (he has only recently moved back home). Shortly after the chess game ends, Kimberly sneaks out of the house. No sooner have Jack and Teri discovered this than the 'phone rings: Jack, who heads up the government's Counter Terrorist Unit, must report to work immediately.
At the office, Jack learns that an assassination attempt will be made that day on Presidential candidate david palmer, a US Senator and the first African-American with a realistic chance at the White House. Furthermore, it appears that a rogue element inside the Agency may be in on the hit.
