It all begins when Galliston finds a treasure map in one of Laila's old clocks. He has no idea what's under the proverbial X, but there's only one way to find out. Galliston and his two magazine associates, Rachel and Aaron embark on a journey to decipher the complex language of symbols and unlock the truth behind the map. During this endeavor, they'll also face imminent danger while trying to keep their findings away from the creepy and mysterious man known as "White Vincent."

Zero Hour appears to be a cross between National Treasure, Lost and anything by Dan Brown. It's rife with mystery, and it seems Hank is just as likely to find Laila by the next episode as he is to continue looking for her for six seasons. The cast is stellar, though, and we're excited to see a little bit of action without a whole lot of gore. With Lost no longer existing, 24 off the air and Homeland on hiatus until next season, we're in desperate need of a smart, lengthy mystery — and Zero Hour appears to be the answer.
