Touch Trivia

Jake typically communicates with his father through the use of numbers. He either writes the same number over and over again or uses an electronic device like a cell phone or a touch tablet to indicate a number that is important in dad's "seeing" an impending disaster.

The numbers that Jake reveals to his dad lead to a series of apparently unrelated events involving apparently unconnected people. In the end the connections between those people and events lead Martin to what he must do in order to prevent a castastrophe.

Series creator Tim Kring said that the way the episodes show how events in different people's lives are often connected make the series about "how our lives all touch one another".

Martin Bohm was a reporter but lost his job after his wife died and his son took so much of his attention. Since then he has had numerous general labor jobs until finally ending out as a baggage handler at an airport.
