The Fox series, from Heroes creator Tim Kring, revolves around a single father (Sutherland), whose mute 11-year-old son communicates through numbers.
The project was picked up late last month for 13 episodes and reunites the former 24 star with Fox. The network will launch the drama in the spring. Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Undercovers) and Danny Glover co-star.
The nearly three-minute trailer explains all viewers can be expecting from Sutherland and company. "Your son sees everything in the past, the present, the future," Glover says to Sutherland in the video. "He sees how it's all connected."
Here's Fox's official synopsis of Touch, set to premiere in Spring 2012:
At the center of Touch is Martin Bohm (Sutherland), a widower and single father, haunted by an inability to connect to his mute 11-year-old son, Jake (David Mazouz). After multiple failed attempts at keeping Jake in school, Martin is visited by Clea Hopkins (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), a social worker sent to evaluate Jake's well-being. Everything changes when Martin discovers that Jake possesses the gift of staggering genius—the ability to see things that no one else can and the patterns that connect seemingly unrelated events. Jake is indeed communicating. But it's not with words, it's with numbers. Martin meets Arthur DeWitt (Danny Glover), a professor and an expert on children who possess special gifts when it comes to numbers. Now, it's up to Martin to decipher the meaning and connect the numbers to the cast of characters whose lives they affect.
