Disc marked

Eighteen months after the assassination attempt on his life, Senator Palmer (Dennis Haysbert, Far From Heaven) has been elected to the White House. Enjoying a relaxing day at his country retreat, he is informed by agents that there is a potential threat to national security. The LA Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU) are informed of the threat and told to be on high alert. Department head, George Mason (Xander Berkeley, Gattaca) finds himself reluctantly having to call upon the services of retired Special Agent Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland, Phone Booth). CTU have been tipped off that a nuclear bomb is set to detonate somewhere in Los Angeles within the next 24 hours. Jack has been living alone, dishevelled, downhearted and haunted by the memory of his late wife Teri. Daughter Kim (Elisha Cuthbert, Old School) is also finding it hard to come to terms with her mother’s death and has found herself a job as a nanny for the Matheson family, looking after their nine-year-old daughter Megan. Kim thinks that her boss Gary (Billy Burke) has been abusing his wife so she flees with Megan only for him to chase after them and threaten Kim herself.
