Jump to 2011, where Dan (now played by Ewan McGregor) lives in New Jersey and is an alcoholic. He returns to his mother and starts talking to her again. He uses a box in his mind and manages to trap her inside. Danny excuses himself to go to the bathroom, where the Bathtub Lady is waiting for him. That night, Danny and Wendy are watching TV together. Wendy then runs out to find Danny on the bench, but nobody is next to him. He shows Danny a trick to keeping evil spirits away by showing him a box that he can use to trap them. As part of his 'shine' powers, Danny can see spirits like Dick Hallorann (Carl Lumbly).

His mother, Wendy (Alex Essoe), has become concerned since he hasn't spoken since their time there, but he still has nightmares of the spirits from the hotel, such as the Grady Twins and the Bathtub Lady from Room 237. Elsewhere, Danny Torrance (Roger Dale Floyd) is still getting over the trauma from his ordeal at the Overlook Hotel. Rose tells Violet that she has a bit of magic in her, right before she and all the other people in the woods converge on Violet. The girl then notices other people lurking nearby, watching them. She introduces herself as Rose The Hat (Rebecca Ferguson), and she charms Violet with magic tricks. One afternoon, she wanders into the woods where she finds a woman sitting alone by the lake.

Stephen Kingįlorida, 1981 A little girl named Violet Hansen (Violet McGraw) is out on a camping trip with her family. Aided by a prescient cat, he becomes 'Doctor Sleep.' Then Dan meets the evanescent Abra Stone, and her spectacular gift, the brightest shining ever seen, reignites Dan's own demons and summons him to a battle for Abra's soul and survival. Finally, he settles in a New Hampshire town, an AA community that sustains him, and a job at a nursing home where his remnant 'shining' power provides the crucial final comfort to the dying. Haunted by the inhabitants of the Overlook Hotel where he spent one horrific childhood year, Dan has been drifting for decades, desperate to shed his father's legacy of despair, alcoholism, and violence. But as Dan Torrance knows, and tween Abra Stone learns, The True Knot are quasi-immortal, living off the 'steam' that children with the 'shining' produce when they are slowly tortured to death. They look harmless: mostly old, lots of polyester, and married to their RVs. On highways across America, a tribe of people called The True Knot travel in search of sustenance.
