Season 2
We are all interconnected. Our lives are invisibly tied to those whose destinies touch ours.
Starring Emmy and Golden Globe winner Kiefer Sutherland, and returning for a second season, Touch is the uplifting global hit drama from creator and writer Tim Kring (Heroes, Crossing Jordan) and executive producers Peter Chernin (New Girl, Terra Nova) and Katherine Pope (New Girl, Terra Nova).
Blending science, spirituality and emotion, the series follows seemingly unrelated people from across the world, all of whose lives impact each other in ways seen and unseen, known and unknown.
At the centre of the story is Martin Bohm (Sutherland), a widower and single father who struggles to communicate and connect with his emotionally challenged 12-year-old son, Jake (David Mazouz).
Determined, thoughtful and caring, Martin continues to try anything – and everything – to reach his son. But Jake still hasn't spoken.
Season 1 unfolded with Martin realising that Jake possessed an extraordinary gift – the ability to perceive the seemingly hidden patterns that connect every life on the planet.
It was up to Martin to decipher these numbers and put the pieces together in order to help people all over the world whose lives touched one another – whether they knew it or not.
In Season 2, the action shifts dramatically from New York to Los Angeles, where Martin and Jake find themselves at the center of a global conspiracy involving a mother in search of her missing teenage daughter; a mathematical genius; and a religious zealot assassinating others with abilities like Jake's.
Joining the cast this season are Maria Bello (ER), Lukas Haas (24), Said Taghmaoui (G.I. Joe: The Rise of The Cobra) and newcomer Saxon Sharbino.
Touch is a production of Chernin Entertainment and Tailwind Productions, in association with 20th Century Fox Television. Tim Kring created the series and wrote the pilot.
Kring, Carol Barbee (Jericho), Peter Chernin, Katherine Pope, Kiefer Sutherland and Suzan Bymel (The War at Home) are executive producers. Francis Lawrence (Water for Elephants) directed the pilot.
