It's 2043. Manny Calavera has 64 days to live. If he completes the instructions given to him by those who implanted the SmartVirus, he could live a lot longer. But it's not easy to kill a man.
Originally, Countdown was nowhere near this dark. It was about a future where medical data about one's body could be brought up in animated tattoo form, so people could assess their health in the bathroom mirror each morning. When trying to expand this into an interesting character and situation, I hit on the idea of reversing it. What if it told you how many days you had left to live? What if it was a sinister presence in your system, used to control you?
