The warden of Shawshank Prison commits suicide, leaving behind an unsettling mystery that seems to be connected to a case from 27 years earlier.

Henry Deaver returns to Castle Rock and takes on the Kid as a client. A letter left behind by Warden Lacy sheds some light on the Kid's origins.

Henry urges the Kid to accept the prison's settlement and investigates his own disappearance decades earlier. A Shawshank prison guard snaps.

After the Shawshank shooting, the Kid is released and Henry moves him into an apartment above Molly's office. A ceremony honoring Alan goes awry.

Molly confesses her role in the death of Reverend Deaver. Henry's son Wendell arrives from Boston. The Kid is institutionalized, but not for long.

Ruth explains her jumbled memories and time-skipping to her grandson Wendell, but the Kid's presence and her disorientation have tragic consequences.

Out-of-towners renovate the Lacy home into a murder-themed bed and breakfast. Molly rescues Henry from the camper. Ruth remains lost in the past.

The true identity of the Kid is revealed, as well as his relationship to Henry, Molly and a site in the forest where strange sightings occur.

Henry and the Kid end up jailed together just as a prisoner transfer from the shuttering Shawshank prison leads to a violent breakout.
