Teri Bauer is wife of Jack Bauer, an agent for the Counter Terror Unit based in Los Angeles, and the mother of Kim Bauer, a willful young woman who (like her father) follows her own set of rules. Needless to say, these two jobs are difficult enough yet she also finds time to work as a freelance interior designer. Unfortunately, Teri finds herself being sucked into extreme danger when her family is drawn into her husband's professional life. She is strong, smart and protective of her brood despite their failings.
