Wicked Time by Michele Amitrani

Alfred White has a simple routine he follows methodically. He wakes up every morning at the same time and devotes the rest of the day to his job. As a young man focused solely on his carrier he works hard, keeps a low profile and welcomes reliability and repetition above anything else.
But Alfred’s ordinary life is suddenly interrupted one morning when he meets Pacific, a mysterious man who will change his life forever.
Pacific is nothing like Alfred. He is nothing like any person Alfred has ever met. He bluntly questions Alfred’s pursuit of a life he doesn’t really want just to fit into a system designed to harvest time out of people.
Yes. Time. Pacific seems to know a great deal about time and the effects it has on people’s lives, and he is willing to share this knowledge with Alfred if the young man will accept a week of mentorship with him.
Though Alfred tries to resist the mystery of Pacific, ultimately the journey Alfred is destined to take has already began.
