Quick Synopsis
In a near future where people no longer age due to a genetic change, society uses time as currency to control population growth. People must earn, spend, and trade time to buy goods and services, with the wealthy able to live indefinitely while the poor constantly fight to extend their lives. A young man from a poor background unexpectedly inherits a large amount of time, which puts him in danger as he becomes a target of the corrupt law enforcement group called the "time keepers," forcing him to go on the run to protect his newfound fortune and survival.
