What is In Time about?
In the not-too-distant future, the aging gene has been switched off. To avoid overpopulation, time has become the currency and the way people pay for luxuries and necessities.

A poor young man who suddenly comes into a fortune of time finds himself on the run from a corrupt police force known as the "time keepers".
