Deep in the shadows of the Colorado Rockies and miles from where anyone can hear you scream, the Overlook Hotel awaits. For its new caretakers, the Torrance family, the only thing more unnerving than their profound seclusion and solitude is the realization that they are not the hotel’s only guests.

While his young son with a sixth sense endures this house of horrors, Jack faces demons – past and present, real and imagined – that ultimately turn him into a monster.

What started as a desperate search for financial (and marital) sanctuary now spirals out of control and sinks into a terrifying struggle for sanity and survival. Based on Stephen King’s best-selling novel, The Shining features music as beautiful and haunting as the story is horrifying.
