The Sentinels of the 25th Hour
Episode One: The Lady with the Blue Umbrella
Every Christmas, at exactly midnight, something extraordinary happens.
For 59 mysterious minutes, the world's clocks stop—but somewhere, one ancient clock keeps moving.
24:01. 24:02. 24:03...
It is the beginning of the 25th Hour.
When the Parker family receives an ancient wooden Box containing the impossible clock, they discover that it does more than measure time. The Box delivers mysterious instructions—clues that must be followed before the 59 minutes are over.
This Christmas, the first instruction leads Kevin Parker and his family to a crowded train station:
FIND THE LADY WITH THE BLUE UMBRELLA.
But when they finally find her, they realize that dangerous men are following her. A police officer rushes to intervene. The Parkers prepare to help.
Then the Box delivers another instruction.
One that makes absolutely no sense.
LET THEM TAKE HER.
With the clock counting toward 24:59, Kevin and his family must decide whether they can trust the Box when everything it asks them to do seems wrong.
Unknown to them, forces of light and darkness are already moving around them—and somewhere nearby, a young boy named Martin is waiting for a miracle he doesn't even know is coming.
The Sentinels of the 25th Hour is a Christmas mystery saga about an ancient Box, an impossible hour, and ordinary families chosen to follow extraordinary clues—where every second matters, appearances can be deceiving, and the path to a miracle may begin with the last thing anyone would expect.
