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.

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...
