The National Security Agency-funded Quantum Tech (QT) Corporation has slated a project to develop Hypertime, a technology which allows the user’s molecules to speed up to the point where the world appears in standstill. The NSA ends the project due to its high amount of risk. However, QT’s CEO Henry Gates plans on using the technology to control the leader of the NSA and dominate the world. He uses the prototype to stretch the weekend in order to give his lead scientist Earl Dopler time to fix the remaining glitch in the technology after his henchmen Richard and Jay prevent Earl’s incognito departure at the airport. However, Earl being in Hypertime for too long has resulted in him aging rapidly in real time, with his molecular age continued at the same rate despite time slowing down.
