About the show
Acclaimed film and television producer Jerry Bruckheimer ("Pirates of the Caribbean" films, "CSI" series) is back again with Eleventh Hour.
Starring Rufus Sewell as Dr. Jacob Hood, a brilliant
biophysicist and special science advisor to the government, the
series follows the enigmatic doctor as he investigates scientific
crises and oddities - everything from cloning to cryogenics.
With absolute jurisdiction and a resolute pursuit of those who
would abuse and misuse scientific discoveries and breakthroughs for
their own gain, he's called in at the eleventh hour as the last
line of defense.
Marley Shelton co-stars as Special Agent Rachel Young, the
decorated FBI protection officer assigned to watch his back. Based
on the British miniseries by acclaimed writer Stephen Gallagher,
the series follows this unlikely pair as they crusade to protect
the substance of science from those with nefarious
motives.
