Premise:"24" is perhaps one of the most original new dramas in a long time. This ground breaking thriller is a roller-coaster ride that unfolds in real time. From midnight to midnight -- covering a 24-hour day over the course of a season -- each episode will have its own resolution, but the clock will never stop ticking.

             "24" takes place on Presidential primary day in Los Angeles, where Jack Bauer and his elite team of CTU (Counter Terrorist Unit) agents uncover a plot to assassinate Presidential nominee David Palmer - the first African-American with a serious shot at the Whitehouse. With only 24 hours to identify the killer and save Palmer's life, Jack must also deal with his strained marriage, the sudden disappearance of his troubled teenage daughter and a mole or two.
