The Hostages

George T. Buckley commands Dome, the planet's most advanced automated prison facility. He welcomes its inaugural prisoners: cannibal serial killer Rocco Bilari and terrorist mastermind Gia Glutman. When magazine writer Max Grannit arrives with assistant Maria de Marco to profile the facility, Buckley proudly tours them through his impenetrable fortress. But Bilari and Glutman possess criminal minds that see weaknesses where others see strength. As the two masterminds probe for flaws in Dome's security systems, they prepare to unleash chaos that will trap Buckley, Grannit, and Maria in a deadly game. Their murderous associates stand ready to join the assault, turning the prison into a battleground where the hostages face not just captivity but systematic elimination.
