in a another world where everyone uses time to survive. once people turn 18 a timer appears on their wrist, and that's how much time you have left. you do everything with time, there is no money, time is your currency.

right now, you have 10 years. one day, you were walking down the street and saw someone take your boyfriends, marcus, wrist and started to twist it, and all his time started to drain. he managed to get away, with three years left.

"don't worry about it, i'll get more."
