Synopsis
After spending years saving the country from various terrorist attacks, deception and corruption within his own government and even facing down dangerous co-workers, Jack Bauer has had enough. Four years after leaving the United States, the very government he has saved time and time again to stand trial for his actions hunts down Jack.
Jack, now working as a missionary at a school in South Africa, is forced into swift action when an evil warlord attempt to capture the children to use as soldiers in his army.
Meanwhile, back in Washington, D.C., a woman is about to be inaugurated as President of the United States. In the hours before the event takes place, she learns there is a situation in South Africa that must be dealt with immediately. Little does she or the rest of her family know that another dangerous presence lurks right around the corner of their home, waiting to put their plans into motion when the series returns in January.
Will Jack Bauer save the day once again?

Jack is Back, But is He Worth Your Hard-Earned Cash?
It has been almost two years since the premiere of season six and I don't know about you, but I've been missing Jack. After a lackluster season six, I had begun to have my doubts about whether or not I would continue to be a faithful viewer of 24 once season seven began. I think the long absence of the series may have been the break we all needed to get excited once again....
I'm happy to report that Jack is indeed back and better than ever! Set on-location in South Africa, the scenery is as breathtaking as the plotline itself. Jack has changed for the better; he is a calmer, gentler man just trying to make a difference in his life for the greater good. Once he is forced into combat, remnants of the old Jack return, but it's evident that his erratic behavior from the past may be just that -- a thing of the past. Will he revert back to his former ways when he hits American soil once again, or has he changed for the better?
24: Redemption sets the scene for the upcoming season and we soon realize that season seven will deal with a global issue put into place by ruthless people close to the government of the United States. Stay tuned and buckle those seat belts folks, we're in for a another thrilling ride.
