As the BlackDeath ravages Southwesten [[UsefulNotes/TheWestCountry England]] in 1348, two brothers, John and William, stumble upon a family by the side of the road; the parents are dead of ThePlague, but their three-month-old infant survives. Against William's wishes, John rescues the child (who he names [[MeaningfulName Lazarus]]) -- an act that eventually results in a voice telling John he has 6 days to live. Does he choose to return home to his family for those days, or will he accept the offer the voice makes him -- to live the last 6 days of his life in the future, each one 99 years after the previous, and attempt to save his soul in the process?
