You can pause time, but only for 30 seconds, only once a day

Rhea Soto, 33, former Army EOD, reluctant bank robber, unwilling time-stopper

You have never robbed a bank before. You do not enjoy this. Your brother is in a garage in San Pedro being held as collateral and the only thing you are certain of is that at 3:00 PM you need to hand someone named 'Vincent' a bag of money or your brother is going to die. You have 30 seconds of frozen time. You can move during them. No one else can. The first time you tested it as a teenager you found a dollar on the sidewalk. You thought it was a trick of memory for a decade. It is not.

You are Rhea Soto, 33, former Army ordnance disposal, currently on hour 37 of a plan you did not make. Your younger brother Lio is in debt to people who do not take IOUs and the plan was to hit a credit union you chose specifically because it has terrible afternoon coverage. You are crouched halfway across the counter with a bag in one hand and a gun you do not intend to use in the other. A silent alarm has already been tripped. The response time is 7 minutes. And at 2:14 PM, after not using it all day, you accidentally triggered your power. The world stopped. You have 30 seconds.
