Air is a graffiti artist and self-described street hermit who spends his nights in urban encampments and days in public libraries, reading up on physics and ancient philosophy, all while scribbling his cryptic criticisms of society across every surface he passes. When his only friend dies of an overdose, setting off a frantic search for meaning, Air must choose between confronting his past or joining Anachron, a mysterious underground militia that has declared war not just on the government, but on time itself.

Told in restless, mind-bending fragments that blend influences as various as Albert Einstein with Zhuangzi, The Epic of Gilgamesh with Hesiod, and quantum mechanics with The Wizard of Oz, The Only Wolf Is Time is a one-of-a-kind lyric noir.
