Deutschland in der Zukunft. Die Küsten sind überschwemmt, weite Teile des Landes sind entvölkert, und die Natur erobert sich verlassene Ortschaften zurück. Berlin ist nur noch eine Kulisse für Touristen. Regierungssitz ist Frankfurt, das mit dem gesamten Rhein-Main-Gebiet zu einer einzigen Megacity verschmolzen ist. Dort, wo es eine Infrastruktur gibt, funktioniert sie einwandfrei. Nahezu das gesamte Leben wird von Algorithmen gesteuert. Allen geht es gut - solange sie keine Fragen stellen.

The second chapter in the Time is Relative series continues the origin story of the mythical figure Father Time (Rolland Wright) as he grows from boy to man. After escaping imprisonment, Rolland is due to begin his training at the prestigious Academy of Light. While learning to control his extraordinary abilities, Rolland must also navigate more ordinary teenage pursuits - first love, fitting in, and finding himself.

Meet Rolland Wright - a 17-year-old orphan living out of his car in rural Woodland Hills, California. Aside from grappling with being abandoned by his drunken father two years previous following his mother's mysterious murder, his life mostly revolves around finding a warm place to sleep at night. When one day he is attacked by men claiming to have killed his father, Rolland discovers a strange ability to slow the flow of time around him.
