    Welcome to AMHD.

    Sounds like there is a wire at one of the outlets that is disconnected.

    Turn breaker off and remove one outlet at at time and check wiring. If wires are in sped connections( the slots on back of oulet) move to screws.

    Check any wires that are wire nutted together.

    Reinstall outlets and turn on breaker.
    If problem is not solved, get back to us.

    How old is the breaker?
