Synopsis for "The Mist: Act One"
In May 1939, after pursing his beloved Dian Belmont to England, Wesley Dodds returns with her to an uneasy New York City, where tensions are running high amid a looming threat of war. While on board the steamship home, Dian notices a floating body out on the water. When their ship docks, she and Wesley learn that saboteurs have blown up a civilian German merchant ship. The saboteur is a "mad scientist" calling himself Jonathan Smythe (and later dba "The Mist"), using his experimental disintegration device. Soon, Smythe is first bribed, then bullied, then extorted into working for evil waterfront labor racketeers George Cohen and Happy Weiss.
