A new TV movie, “24: Exile,” set to bridge the gap between seasons 6 and 7, will debut on Fox in November with super anti-terrorist agent Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) in Africa.

The action unfolds four years after the end of season 6, when viewers saw Bauer standing on the precipice of a mountain after ruining his personal life to save the world yet again.

In the film, Bauer has been seeking solace as a missionary in Africa, but finds himself in the midst of a bloody coupe in the small (fictional) nation of Sangala, where a ruthless dictator is drafting innocent children as soldiers.

Bauer embarks on a violent, personal crusade to save the children.

Fox will release the film on DVD immediately after the film has aired. Season 7 debuts next January.
