Later in 2011, he grows up to be an alcoholic to forget about his past and linger away from those memories.  After settling in a small town, he makes friends with a man called Billy Freeman and starts to rehabilitate. He gets a job at a hospice, and there he is known for comforting patients through his shining. Therefore the people there name him “Doctor Sleep”. The movie will also see a vampire cult known as True Knot that kills people for their shining.
