With Dome locked up in the museum refusing food, Khatha attends an auction with the object of purchasing an artefact to help Dome. He's up against a formidable bidder going by the monicker The High Priestess. Meanwhile, newlywed Ing is having a hard time with her new family when a mysterious woman appears offering her a solution.
On the first day Dome can remember, something fell from the sky and transformed him. That same day, Khatha saw him in the street and recognised him. Visiting Dome's residence, Khatha learns of the sudden change in Dome. Meanwhile, harassed high school student Auto gets ahold of a stone that grants him a dark power.
After the items of Zone 16 are stolen, Dome decides to take responsibility for his mistake leading to their theft and tracks them down. Before he's even arrived, though, a cursed dagger has wreaked havoc on the thieves. Hot on Dome's trail is Khatha, headless of the danger of going alone in the face of Dome's peril.
