Ewan McGregor stars as Danny Torrance in this horror sequel to 'The Shining' (1980), based on the novel by Stephen King. Still haunted by his childhood at the Overlook Hotel, another traumatic incident forces Danny to seek help for his demons in a small New Hampshire town. He secures work at a hospice, where he uses his shining abilities to aid the passing of his patients, and crosses paths with a young girl, Abra (Kyliegh Curran), who possesses a similar gift. She enlists Danny's help in stopping a murderous group known as the True Knot, led by Rose the Hat (Rebecca Ferguson), which hunts down children who possess the shining and feed off of their powers, using them to fuel their own immortality.
