Jing and Kir set up their greatest heist ever, stealing time itself from the city of Adonis, where time is stored in clockwork grapes. Things become complicated when they are forced to seek refuge with a group of schedule-hating rebels who live under the city.
Jing arrives in Rusty Nail intent on confronting the city's mastermind, known as the Holy Brain, but he must first contend with Bloody Caesar, a creature composed of thirty different bodies, who is intent on adding Jing to his collection.
