The Eleventh Hour is a Canadian television drama series which aired weekly on CTV from 2002 to 2005. The show revolves around the reporters and producers at a fictional television newsmagazine series, The Eleventh Hour. Unhappy with the newsmagazine's shrinking audience, the network has brought in a new executive producer, Kennedy Marsh, to reorient the show in a more ratings-driven tabloid journalism direction. The tension between the ratings imperative and the more traditional journalistic ethics of the show's senior staff is the primary conflict that drives the show, but storylines also include the team's efforts to get the stories that will make it to air each week. The Eleventh Hour was produced by Alliance Atlantis, Canada's largest film and television production house. It aired in the U.S. on Sleuth, under the title Bury the Lead, to distinguish it from a CBS series with a similar name.

Isobel's life falls apart as she digs into pornography charges against a well-loved children's television series.

Eleventh hour anchor Megan Redner is determined to secure an exclusive interview with Stella Loos, a Canadian missionary who was rescued from the Taliban after armed American Special Task Force troops stormed an Afghani hospital. From all appearances, the operation was a coup for the U.S. troops, raising morale in Afghanistan. It is assumed that the American networks will be all over the story, but Stella seems to have no media handlers and the American oulets don't even seem to be in the mix.

Kennedy wonders if Stella is being coy about her celebrity; that perhaps she's holding out for a book deal. So the show's lawyer, Murray Dann, draws up an offer for her through their corporate publishing arm, Rutger-Hill. In doing so, they buy the book, the movie rights and the interview.

Suddenly, Stella claims to have amnesia about the whole event, but when she lets it slip that she prayed in the Afghan hosital where her ""amnesia"" apparently began, Megan and story producer Dennis recognise a cover-up.

Megan follows her hunch and sets off for Afghanistan to expose the cover-up while Dennis tracks down Stell's doctor, Dr. Osama Amir, who reveals the truth: the U.S. troops shot a civilian doctor in cold blood during what they knew was in fact a needless rescue mission, and now they're covering it up. Dr. Amir and Stella both saw what happened that day - and Dennis plots to get the evidence to expose the whole debacle, setting off a chain of events that threaten to destry both Dennis' journalistic integrity and his personal relationships.
