Summary
In 2169, people are born genetically engineered with a digital clock on their forearm. When they turn 25 years old, they stop aging and their clock begins counting down from one year; when it reaches zero that person "times out" and dies instantly. Time has become the universal currency; it is used to pay for day-to-day expenses and can be transferred between people or capsules. The country has been divided into "time zones" based on the wealth of the population. There are ten of them, but two are most important. The richest live in New Greenwich where people have more time than they need. The poor live in Dayton where people never have enough time.
Jordan and Lydia live in Dayton.
