Jack Torrance je štyridsiatnik, ktorý ešte stále dúfa, že príde jeho prvý spisovateľský úspech. Aby manželke Wendy a synovi Dannymu zabezpečil živobytie a sebe pokoj na písanie, prijme miesto zimného správcu luxusného vysokohorského hotela v Colorade. Jacka neodradia ani strašidelné historky o predošlom správcovi, ktorý údajne v izolovanom hoteli zošalel, rozsekal svoju rodinu na kúsky a napokon sa sám zastrelil. Jack však verí, že v odľahlej samote konečne nájde silu dopísať svoj veľký projekt. Jeho syn Danny má zvláštny dar osvietenia a vidí veci, ktoré si Jack spočiatku odmieta pripustiť. Danny na opustených hotelových chodbách stretáva duchov bývalých hostí hotela. Pocity klaustrofóbie, spojené s tvorivým blokom postupne Jacka dovedú do stavu, kedy sám s duchmi komunikuje a napokon poslúchne ich volanie. Zdá sa, že už nič nezabráni tomu, aby zopakoval osud svojho predchodcu. Jediné, čo môže Wendy a Dannyho zachrániť, je osvietenie...

The stage emulates life and compresses it, setting free skills learned over lifetimes in brief but dazzling displays for the amusement and judgment of others. For the performers, it is the ultimate risk, and some will rise while others must fall.

Karen and Hikari’s destinies have been linked since a childhood promise, but their journeys here have taken very different paths. Now, after Hikari leaves, Karen must discover who she is without her opposite, while Hikari must rediscover her own course. Nor are they the only girls who must reassess and change if they want to achieve their dreams, as the dance, magic, and swordplay continue!
