Mikä on maailman kauhein asia? Onko se hirviömäinen avaruusolento? Vai tappava kulkutauti? Vai pelko, että rakas ja turvallinen ihminen - ehkäpä perheenjäsen - osoittautuukin murhanhimoiseksi mielipuoleksi? Jack Torrance ottaa hoidettavakseen hienon, mutta eristyksissä olevan Overlook Hotellin talven ajaksi. Hänen mukanaan tulevat vaimo ja pieni poika. Torrance ei ole koskaan aiemmin ollut hotellissa - vai onko? Vastaus löytyy aavemaisesta mielipuolisuuden puuskasta.
