Plot

In 1980, sometime after escaping the Overlook Hotel, Danny Torrance and his mother Wendy live in Florida. Danny is haunted by a ghost from the Overlook — the rotting woman in a bath. He is taught by the ghost of Dick Hallorann to lock such ghosts in imaginary “boxes” in his mind. Meanwhile, a cult known as the True Knot, led by Rose the Hat, feed on “steam” produced by the dying moments of people with the Shining ability which Danny also possesses. She recruits a teenage girl called Snakebite Andi into the cult after observing her ability to telepathically control people.
In 2011, Danny, still traumatized by his time in the Overlook, has become an alcoholic to suppress his Shining. He moves to a small town and befriends Billy Freeman, who gets him a job and becomes his AA sponsor. Danny begins to improve and soon finds a job at a hospice; he uses his Shine abilities to comfort dying patients, who give him the nickname “Doctor Sleep”. He begins receiving telepathic communications from Abra Stone, a young girl whose Shining is even more powerful than his.
In 2018, the True Knot, who feed on Shining steam to slow their aging, are starving. They abduct a young boy called Bradley, torturing him to death to extract as much steam as they can. A teenage Abra senses the event, and her distress alerts both Danny and Rose. Rose sets her sights on Abra, planning to extract her steam to sustain the cult. Realizing that Rose is after her, Abra visits Danny, who insists that she stay away and avoid drawing attention to herself. That night Rose astral-projects into Abra’s mind, but is stunned when the girl manages to trap her and briefly enters Rose’s mind. Wounded, Rose returns to her body and sends the True Knot to capture Abra.
Danny is visited by the ghost of Hallorann, who instructs him to protect Abra. Abra tells Danny what happened with Rose and says she can track the cult if she can touch Bradley’s baseball glove. Danny tells Billy about the Shining; they travel to the murder scene and exhume the body to retrieve the glove. They go to Abra’s house, where they recruit her father Dave and devise a plan. Using an astral projection of Abra as bait, Danny and Billy lure the cult members out and shoot most of them dead, though Snakebite Andi telepathically manipulates Billy into killing himself before dying.
Rose’s lover, Crow Daddy, kills Dave and abducts Abra, drugging her to suppress her shine. Danny communicates with Abra, who allows him to possess her temporarily; they make Crow Daddy crash his car, killing him and freeing Abra. While Danny and Abra reunite, Rose consumes the cult’s stockpile of steam, healing her wounds and vowing revenge for their deaths.
Danny decides to return to the abandoned Overlook, believing it will be as dangerous for Rose as it is for him and Abra. He starts up the hotel’s boiler and explores the building, “awakening” it in the process. Danny revisits the rooms where his father Jack, influenced by the Overlook, attempted to murder him and Wendy. At the hotel bar, Dan is offered alcohol by a bartender who strongly resembles Jack.
Rose arrives at the hotel. Abra and Danny attempt to lock her in a box in Danny’s mind, but fail. Abra flees as Danny tries to fend off Rose with his father’s axe; Rose overpowers him. As she drains Danny of his steam, he opens the boxes to release several of the Overlook’s ghosts, who quickly surround and kill Rose. The ghosts possess Danny, who begins to hunt for Abra. When she manages to free him momentarily, he tells her to flee the hotel. Struggling with possession, Danny returns to the boiler room, which becomes engulfed in flames. In his last moment, Danny experiences Wendy holding him as a child. Abra watches helplessly as the hotel burns down. Later, Abra talks to the ghost of Danny, who comforts her before disappearing. In her bathroom, Abra sees the rotting woman from the Overlook, and goes to confront her.
