Years after his harrowing childhood at the Overlook Hotel, Dan Torrance still grapples with the remnants of 'the shining', a psychic gift he once battled to survive. Wrestling with his father's poignant legacy, Dan drifts into a precarious balance, finding solace in an Alcoholics Anonymous community and solace in a hospice job. Dubbed 'Doctor Sleep', he comforts the dying with his dwindling shine, assisted by a prescient cat. His mundane existence ripples with the arrival of Abra Stone, a girl boasting a shine brighter than any before. But this beacon of light also draws the True Knot, a sinister tribe feeding off the 'steam' produced by tortured children like Abra. Faced with the reawakened spectres of his past and a moral imperative, Dan plunges into a perilous struggle for Abra's soul, pitting his worn powers against an immortal enemy. 'Doctor Sleep' weaves a tale of redemption and the tireless clash of goodness against malevolence.
