The Rapid Eternity set in a futuristic New York, where each person's life is heavily controlled by the president, Lucifer Enmy. Each person has a watch that counts down to different significant events in their lives - such as meeting their soul mate. Seventeen year old Jack Witter is just as nervous as the other members in his society about meeting his soul mate, but instead finds that he is the president's new target and receives a watch counting down to his own death. He must escape his society and look for a way to save his own life, as well as everyone else in the society.
