Overview
"Touch" is a preternatural drama where science and spirituality meet in which we are all interconnected. The show follows a group of unrelated characters. One of these is Martin Bohm (Kiefer Sutherland), a widower and a single father who is haunted by an inability to connect to his mute and severely autistic 10-year-old son, Jake. Martin has tried everything he could do in order to reach his son, but at no success. To spend his time, Jake has cast-off cell phones, disassembling them and manipulating the parts. This allows him to see the world in a different way entirely. Martin is visited by social worker Clea Hopkins. She insists on doing an evaluation of the living situation. Clea sees Martin as a man whose life has become dominated by a child he can no longer control.

Good idea, awful writing
I liked the idea of the show. A silent but genius kid who sees what most people cannot. But the writing is awful. I watched the first five episodes thinking that Kiefer's presence will lift the show later but show had disaster written all over it. Maybe we expected too much from him after 24. This show deserved to be cancelled.
