Film Synopsis: Everyone in the world has a clock that counts down every second until the moment of their death. When the clock runs out, a group of beings called Auditors exist to perform the final, invisible execution that sends each person out of this world. They perform this task flawlessly – almost. The few survivors the Auditors miss are caught in limbo between life and death, fighting to outrun pursuing Auditors in a struggle to make the most of this second chance…
