In the small town of Castle Rock, Maine, where Thad and Liz keep a summer home, Sheriff Alan Pangborn ponders the brutal roadside murder of a man named Homer Gamache. When Homer's pick-up truck is found, the bloody figerprints of the perpetrator are all over it. They match Thad Beaumont's exactly. Armed with hard evidence, Pangborn pays the Beaumonts a visit, and suddenly he too is thrust into a dream so bizarre that neigher criminal science nor his own sharp mind can make sense of it. At the center of the nightmare is the devastating figure of George Stark, Thad Beaumon's dark half - impossibly alive and relentlessly on the loose - a killing machine that destroys everyone on the path that leads to the man who created him.
