Originally posted by RaInBoW_bRiTe Well its a show in the US about a guy (Jack played by Keifer sutherland) who is a goverment agent at the CTU (Counter terrorist unit). He recieves info that there will be a hit on Senator Palmer (The first Black man in the US to run for President)...Jack's boss then tells him someone in the CTU is involved in the hit on Palmer's life. His boss is then killed. Jack is left with only a keycard to go on. His daughter, Kimberly is kidnapped. He has 24 hours to stop the hit on Palmer and get his daughter back alive. The show takes place in actual time, each show is one hour long, and there are 24 eps in all. It is a very very good show, and Keifer won an Emmy for his role as Jack.
