The Dome represents the pinnacle of prison technology. Warden George T. Buckley oversees this automated fortress with absolute confidence in its security systems. His first two inmates arrive as the facility's ultimate test: serial killer and cannibal Rocco Bilari and terrorist mastermind Gia Glutman. When journalist Max Grannit and his assistant Maria de Marco visit to write a magazine piece, Buckley entertains them in his opulent quarters while boasting about his impenetrable prison. But Bilari and Glutman possess criminal minds that see opportunities where others see walls. As the two masterminds probe for weaknesses in The Dome's defenses, they discover flaws that Buckley never imagined. Soon they execute a daring plan that transforms hunters into prey. Buckley, Grannit, and de Marco become hostages as the criminals' murderous associates join the chaos. The captives find themselves dragged along on a violent spree where death lurks at every turn. Their survival depends on outwitting opponents who kill without hesitation and view human life as expendable.
