The Villain's Hourglass

In the year 2035, Prince L. Angelino is a notorious thief surviving in a dystopian world ravaged by corruption and advanced technology. Haunted by a tragic accident that destroyed his family, Prince clings to a life of crime, driven by regret and desperation. During a harrowing escape from relentless police bots, he stumbles upon an abandoned house-and a mysterious, ringing phone.

Answering the call connects him to Leo P. Dela Cruz, a trainee scientist from 2022. At first, their interaction is marked by confusion and disbelief, but Prince's revelation about the year sparks an obsession in Leo. Realizing the phone's potential to alter time, the two form an unlikely partnership: Leo will use his scientific prowess to help Prince rewrite his tragic past.

But tampering with time comes at a cost. As Leo successfully prevents the accident that shaped Prince's future, the world shifts-erasing Prince's memories of their connection. Left alone in 2022, Leo spirals into madness, desperate to restore what was lost. When his obsession turns him into a villain, he kidnaps the now-content Prince from the altered 2035 timeline, determined to force him to remember.

Caught between a rewritten future and the dark consequences of their choices, Prince must decide: will he sacrifice his newfound happiness to stop Leo, or will they both destroy time itself in the process?
