Jess, Jeremy, and Amanda grew up under the Ice-Scape Dome. The Dome housed a complete, climate-controlled ecosystem for scientific study. It was an ecological and a social experiment: the brainchild of Dr. Emily Rose. She posited that future successful space exploration would require both self-contained ecosystems and self-sustaining social structures. Isolated under the Dome, residents experienced no competition for resources, no social caste structure, and no economic conflict.
Jess, Amanda, and Jeremy have lived in the social utopia of the Ice-Scape Dome since infancy. As they approach their sixteenth birthdays, though, the experiment concludes, and they are sent to school in New York City where they must face the realities of life as an American teenager. It remains to be seen how well their utopian upbringing prepared them for life in an American high school.
All the earth is torn asunder.
There used to be grass, and the sun used to be golden. Children played outside, climbing trees with smiles on their faces and grass stains on their knees. People worried about a million things that would soon be irrelevant, continuing without a clue of the disaster to come.
Centuries later, what little is left of humanity survives in a society constructed beneath the surface of a glass dome, the world outside converted to little more than a desert wasteland. Survival is a routine rather than an effort, and all rules are surpassed by only one: if you want to survive, you never leave the dome. There's nothing alive out there. The radiation that soaks the earth makes sure of that.
Until one day, someone finds a bloody, dust-covered handprint on the outside of the glass.
Nothing will ever be the same again.
