The first part of a trilogy, Pure tells the story of Pressia and her people, living in a post-apocalyptic world destroyed by nuclear bombs, and Partridge and his people who live inside The Dome, a giant bunker that spared people from the destruction. The people on the outside call the dome-dwellers "pures", untouched by radiation. The people inside the Dome call the outsiders "wretches", considering them less than human. The novel follows Pressia's and Partridge's stories separately, until they unexpectedly meet.
Baggott has written two sequels to Pure: 2013's Fuse and 2014's Burn.
