As part of a secret military experiment, two young officers set out to slow down time for them, paving the way for interstellar travel. Everything goes well, but when the boys return from their unnatural existence, they are shocked to see that everyone else around them has frozen in time. They soon discover that scientists are actually alive, only moving nearly 6000 times slower than they are. Knowing that problems are usually resolved within 1 hour, they arrange a 10-month wait at the lab. But while one of the officers researches and trains himself, the other sinks into a deeper depression.
