Plot

In 2169, people are born genetically engineered with a digital clock, bearing 1 year of time, on their forearm. When they turn 25, they stop aging, but their clock begins counting down; when it reaches zero, that person “times out” and dies instantly. Time on these clocks are the universal currency; by touching arms, one person can transfer it to another, or to/from a separate clock (a “time capsule”). The country is divided into “time zones” based on the wealth of its population. There are two main time zones: Dayton, which is poor, and New Greenwich, the wealthiest zone, where inhabitants are constantly surrounded by bodyguards.
