Humans experience time linearly, living our lives from age one through whenever we die and aging as we go. Spanners, however, experience time differently. Some age backwards. Others do not age at all. Some age back and forth. And this non-linear experience with time and age gives Spanners a host of unique abilities. Adam Parr is an 8,000 year old Spanner and detective who specializes in dealing with his own kind. When an old adversary uncovers the most powerful Spanner that ever existed, Adam must stop her from destroying the world. The adversary is the explorer Ponce de Leon. And the Spanner he discovers? --is the Fountain of Youth, which turns out to be a person and not a place.
