Driven by a desperate need to reclaim his life and sobriety, Jack moves his family into the sprawling, empty hotel, unaware of the sinister forces that seek to exploit his vulnerabilities. As the hotel's dark influence grows, it targets his young son Danny, whose psychic abilities, known as "the shining," make him a beacon for the hotel's evil.
