Peter Salem, a former Wall Street executive recently released from prison (fyi...also the name of the actual African-American soldier who killed the highest ranking British Officer at the 1775 Battle of Bunker/Breed Hill), returns to his ex-wife and children in the small town of [Bunker Hill, Kansas]. Soon after he arrives, the town's electricity and power are shut off, and there is no way to communicate with authorities outside of town. The town's militant past is reawakened and forces coalesce to protect citizens from an unseen enemy.
