Xavier is on a family weekend away, not by choice but because he has to be there with his father and pregnant step mother. But waking up on this particular morning is like no other for none of them recognise the place they are in, the place they see outside the house. They seem to have been transported into a impenetrable dome. Whomever has put them there has given them the means to survive but there is no trace of these people or of an escape route. It is three years later when a resigned Xavier discovers a new family have appeared, a family who are their opposites in every way. Now he has a companion in their daughter Mackenzie but as tensions rise so does the danger.
