Tormented by the past's uncomfortable memories, decades after surviving the harsh winter at the Overlook Hotel in The Shining (1980), a now-adult Dan Torrance still fights his inner demons. But he is fighting a losing battle. Having suppressed his rare gift, Dan reluctantly puts his powers to good use as the benevolent "Doctor Sleep" of a New Hampshire hospice. There, Dan catches the eye of the mysterious Abra Stone, an extraordinary teenager gifted with far more superior shining abilities. As their unbreakable telepathic bond attracts unwanted attention, the semi-eternal psychic vampire, Rose the Hat, and her marauding gang of followers known as "The True Knot" close in on the innocent and their life-giving essence. Once more, the snow-covered purgatory's restless spirits invite Dan over for one last winter. However, does Danny dare return to Room 237?—Nick Riganas
