And the nearly bankrupt real estate agent is not the only one being held prisoner; every resident is confined within the town's boundaries by an invisible force field that cannot be breached. As local tensions rapidly reach breaking point, a set of bizarre circumstances leads Brad to the source of their captivity, making him humanity's reluctant ambassador to an alien race of sentient flora, and privy to these jailers' ultimate intentions. But some of Millville's most powerful citizens do not take kindly to Carter's \"collaboration with the enemy,\" even under the sudden threat of global apocalypse. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Decades before Stephen King trapped an entire town in \u003ci\u003eUnder the Dome\u003c\/i\u003e, science fiction Grand Master Clifford D.
