"An innocent man. A radical punishment. The clock is ticking . . . With crime rampant, the President authorizes a hugely controversial program: TimeLock, a cellular acceleration process whereby select prisoners are instantly aged the total number of years of their sentence. In other words - three strikes and you're old . . . very old. Despite ongoing public outcries, two years later, the program is working. When 23 year-old Morgan Eberly is falsely arrested for murder and forced into a TimeLock capsule to be aged 40 years, a riot at the prison interrupts his processing and he escapes-as a middle aged man. Terrified and on the run, Morgan enlists the help of Janine Price, the FBI agent who arrested him. With dark and powerful forces on their trail, the unlikely pair investigate murders of ex-prisoners who were transformed by the TimeLock protocol, including the man Morgan was accused of killing. Fighting for their lives and falling in love, Morgan and Janine set out to bring TimeLock to its knees in a final desperate gambit. Can they unlock the truth about TimeLock before it's too late to turn back?"--
