Now

In the future, people stop aging at 25 and are genetically engineered to live only one more year. That is, unless you have the money to buy more time.

Wealthy people can buy decades of years at a time while physically remaining 25, but others have to beg, borrow or steal hours at a time in order to make it through to another day. When a man from the wrong side of the tracks is falsely accused of murder, he finds he has no choice but to go on the run, taking a beautiful hostage with him.
