Overlook Hotel is the perfect chance for a fresh start. As the

Twenty years ago, a boy named
Jack Sawyer travelled to a parallel universe called The Territories to
save his mother and her Territories “twinner” from a premature and
agonizing death that would have brought cataclysm to the other world.
Now Jack is a retired Los Angeles homicide detective living in the
nearly nonexistent hamlet of Tamarack, WI. He has no recollection of his
adventures in the Territories and was compelled to leave the police
force when an odd, happenstance event threatened to awaken those
memories.
When a series of gruesome murders occur in western Wisconsin that are
reminiscent of those committed several decades earlier by a real-life
madman named Albert Fish, the killer is dubbed “The Fisherman” and
Jack’s buddy, the local chief of police, begs Jack to help his
inexperienced force find him. But is this merely the work of a disturbed
individual, or has a mysterious and malignant force been unleashed in
this quiet town? What causes Jack’s inexplicable waking dreams, if that
is what they are, of robins’ eggs and red feathers? It’s almost as if
someone is trying to tell him something. As that message becomes
increasingly impossible to ignore, Jack is drawn back to the Territories
and to his own hidden past, where he may find the soul-strength to
enter a terrifying house at the end of a deserted track of forest, there
to encounter the obscene and ferocious evils sheltered within it.
