A dark, apocalyptic struggle between good and evil in a plague-ravaged world, grounded in spiritual conflict and the survival of a small band of refugees.

In a world mostly wiped out by the plague and embroiled in an elemental struggle between good and evil, the fate of mankind rests on the frail shoulders of the 108-year-old Mother Abagail and a handful of survivors. Their worst nightmares are embodied in a man with a lethal smile and unspeakable powers: Randall Flagg, the Dark Man.
