Years ago, the haunting of the
Overlook Hotel nearly broke young Dan Torrance’s sanity, as his paranormal gift
known as “the shining” opened a door straight into hell. And even though Dan is
all grown up, the ghosts of the Overlook – and his father’s legacy of
alcoholism and violence – kept him drifting aimlessly for most of his life.
Now, Dan has finally found some order in the chaos by working in a local
hospice, earning the nickname “Doctor Sleep” by secretly using his special
abilities to comfort the dying and prepare them for the afterlife. But when he
unexpectedly meets twelve-year-old Abra Stone – who possesses an even more
powerful manifestation of the shining – the two find their lives in sudden
jeopardy at the hands of the ageless and murderous nomadic tribe known as the
True Knot, reigniting Dan’s own demons and summoning him to battle for this
young girl’s soul and survival...
