Each door presents a unique individual destined to join Roland on his path: Eddie Dean, a heroin addict with a sharp wit; Odetta Holmes, a courageous woman with a volatile split personality; and the sinister serial killer, Jack Mort.
As Roland draws these individuals into his world, he faces the daunting task of uniting them against the growing darkness that threatens to consume all realities.
