La Cupula / Under the Dome

"One sunny autumn morning, in the small town of Chester's Mill, Claudette Sanders enjoys her flying lesson, and Dale Barbara hitchhikes just outside of town. None of them will reach their destination. Out of nowhere, an invisible barrier descend son the city like a crystalline and unbreakable bubble. While coming down, it cuts a groundhog in half and amputates a gardener's hand. The plain Claudette was flying crashes into the dome and plummets to the ground engulfed in flames. Dale Barbara, Iraq war veteran, must return now to Chester's Mill, the place he so wished to leave. The military puts Dale in charge of the situation, but Big Jim Rennie, the man with one foot in every dirty business in town, does not agree me might just be the answer to his prayers. As food, power, and water become scarce, children start having chilling premonitions. Time is running out for those under the dome. Will they be able to figure out what created such terrifying prison before it's too late?"--
