They can either send you back to your point of departure or confine you in a room in the terminal overnight. They might also deny boarding at point of origin, if they know the connection will be lost.
There has been some reports of connecting flights being held quite a but to make it possible to get passengers on them. I have not seen any reports yet of people actually missing a connection and what happened.
