By Stanley Evans

GENRE: Sci-fi, Fantasy
LOGLINE:

An up and coming tech mogul, feels at age 40 that his life is passing him by. When he receives a mysterious clock from his dad, it does. Literally. Can he find the secret of the clock and stop the world from moving in fast motion before he ends up old or dead?

SYNOPSIS:

After lamenting the swift passage of time and his inability to gain any ground professionally, Ben, a stressed out tech start up exec, receives the gift of a magical clock. Soon he discovers that the clock manipulates time. Everything in his life is speeding up! People are moving faster, the sun sprints across the sky and the clock's minute hand speeds in circles.

Unable to communicate with his coworkers who think he's talking incredibly slow, Ben leaves his high paced life in the city and goes back to his slow-moving home town with the clock in his pickup. He's certain this is the work of his aging dad who never approved of his lifestyle.

If that weren’t enough, he learns his father is dying and doesn’t have long to live. But he’s got the deal of a lifetime on the line, as an investor wants to buy his his start-up that same week. Will he choose the success he’s always sought or more time with his father?

Ultimately, Ben learns to master time and find true meaning in life and his relationships, especially with the woman he left behind in his pursuit of success. And in the process, we get a peek into the mythology of the character of "Father Time."
