Megalopolis

In an alternate United States, New Rome is controlled by elite patrician families who secretly indulge in decadence while the rest of the population lives in poverty. Architect Cesar Catilina, a Nobel Prize winner for inventing Megalon, a revolutionary building material, harbors a secret ability to stop time. Despite his success, Cesar is haunted by guilt over his wife's mysterious disappearance.

Cesar's vision of a utopian "Megalopolis" clashes with the city's leadership, particularly District Attorney Franklyn Cicero. Cesar forms a bond with Cicero's daughter, Julia, who shares his unique time-stopping ability. As political tensions and personal betrayals rise, Cesar fights to build Megalopolis while facing opposition, tragedy, and unrest, determined to create a better future for New Rome.
