The conflict begins when the Auditors of Reality, the god-like beings who have some control over the workings of the universe, decide that it would be much easier to maintain order if they could freeze time forever. Thief of Time essentially pits three main adversaries against each other the Monks of History, the Auditors, and Death fight on a primordial level in an attempt to maintain the order of the universe, while humans are thrown into the mix in an often comically ignorant way while these powers argue around them. The second thread has the feeling of a kung-fu or martial arts movie, and follows Lu-Tze, a member of the mysterious religious organization the History Monks, as he leads an apprentice named Lobsang Ludd on an important mission. One thread follows a clockmaker named Jeremy Clockson who is hired by the Auditors of Reality, villainous god-like beings who carry throughout the series, to build a perfect glass clock that has the power to stop time.
