Storyline
Plot
The story will be focused on the events that took place between seasons two and three of the series. Many questions will be answered that were left after season two finale.
- Who was behind the assasination attempt on President David Palmer?
- How did Kim Bauer become employed at CTU?

- How did Jack Bauer and Chase Edmunds become partners?
- What happened to Jack and Kate Warner's relationship?

The first level will start as Jack Bauer and a CTU S.W.A.T. team are raiding an international cargo vessel that is smuggling illegal weapons into the United States and supplying them to various terrorist cells in Los Angeles. After the raid is finished and the arrests are made, Bauer and CTU discover a connection with the vessel and an assassination attempt that will take place later that day. CTU believes they are targeting the President, Jim Prescott. Prescott was the Vice President on David Palmer's cabinet but was sworn in as President after Palmer was nearly killed in a bioterrorism attempt on his life. Bauer must now apprehend a suspected gang member named Del Toro who might be involved. When in custody, Del Toro breaks and says that the attempt will be carried out by 10:00 on the Presidential motorcade as Prescott is traveling across L.A. CTU finds out that the cell planning the attack is the same one that nearly killed Palmer. Jack and CTU must now race to stop the assassination attempt and apprehend those responsible before the attack is carried out.
