Van het ene op het andere moment wordt de gemeente Chester's Mill volledig van de buitenwereld afgesneden door een mysterieuze energiekoepel. Iedereen die op dat moment binnen was zit gevangen, iedereen die buiten was kan er niet meer in. Wie of wat in de weg zat, stond of lag wordt met chirurgische precisie doormidden gesneden. Zodra de machtigste en meest corrupte man in de stad beseft dat niemand hem nog kan tegenhouden, vormt hij een microtirannie waarbij Gestapopraktijken verbleken. Degenen die daartegen in verzet komen, proberen uit alle macht de koepel open te krijgen, en de strijd wordt des te prangender als duidelijk wordt dat de lucht in de koepel langzaam maar zeker op raakt.
