Norway, sometime in the future. Anton is sixteen and lives in a dome - a human-engineered environment large enough to house a small city. Anton is a privileged and well-liked kid, on track to make his family proud. But he is also tired of being good, and in the midst of a raging, confusing puberty. Emma lives on the outside of Anton’s dome. She’s sixteen too, and belongs to a clan comprised of her extended family.

As a child, sometimes Emma accompanied her mother into the dome where she got some part-time work. Emma used to dream of living like the kids inside. But lately, she’s been feeling a radical, righteous anger. And that anger, that indignation, is shared by many communities on the outside. Emma and Anton meet in the first episode, under scandalous circumstances, and an adventure ensues.

Will they get to be together, despite their families’ best efforts to keep them apart? Through danger, cliffhangers and abundant humour, it is Anton and Emma’s romance and all the hurdles it encounters that is the core of Dome 16, season 1.
