He moves into the grand resort for the winter with his wife, Wendy, and their young son, Danny. Danny possesses "the shining," a powerful psychic ability that allows him to see the horrific ghosts and dark secrets embedded in the hotel's bloody history. As a brutal winter storm traps the family inside and cuts them off from the outside world, the hotel's malevolent supernatural forces begin to feast on Jack’s vulnerabilities, slowly driving him into a state of violent insanity.Wendy is forced to protect her son as Jack completely unravels, transforming from a desperate father into a bloodthirsty monster. Danny must use his supernatural gift to survive the haunting visions and the real-world terror roaming the corridors. The story builds to a chilling climax where the family must escape the frozen labyrinth of the Overlook before Jack's madness consumes them all.
