Adapted from the 2009 Stephen King novel, this provocative sci-fi series depicts the life and times of the residents of (fictional) Maine town Chester's Mill after a bizarre force field takes shape and traps everyone in the town inside it's borders. As fear grips the population and societal order begins to break down, an army veteran (Mike Vogel) and a reporter (Rachel Lefevre) are among those who band together to keep the peace and find a way to escape.
