An invisible and mysterious force field descends upon a small fictional town of Chester's Mill, Maine, USA, trapping residents inside, cut off from the rest of civilization. The trapped townsfolk must discover the secrets and purpose of the "dome" and its origins, while coming to learn more than they ever knew about each other. Don't be caught in Chester's Mill on Dome Day. King's epic novel continues the intrigue. On a beautiful fall day, the town of Chester's Mill is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. No one knows what this barrier is and when - or if - it will go away. After the firmament seals off Chester Mills from the rest of the world, it is up to Dale Barbara, an Iraq veteran, and a select group of citizens to save the town, if they can get past Big Jim Rennie, a murderous politician, his son, who hides a horrible secret in his home, and a strange device at the center.
