As a child, Danny Torrance survived a murder attempt by his father, a writer troubled by evil spirits. Now he is a traumatized adult and an alcoholic. Without a fixed residence, he settles in a small town, where he gets a job at the local asylum and creates a telepathic bond with a girl, a patient at the institution, and soon needs to protect her – and protect himself – from a threat that awakens old ghosts of your past.
