In 'The Drawing of the Three,' the second installment of Stephen King's acclaimed Dark Tower series, Roland Deschain, the Last Gunslinger, finds himself on a desolate beach where he encounters three mysterious doors. These portals offer Roland unique access to different eras of 20th-century America, where he must 'draw' the three individuals destined to join him on his perilous quest toward the fabled Dark Tower.
Roland's journey through these doors introduces him to defiant drug addict Eddie Dean in 1980s New York, the complex Odetta Holmes from the 1960s civil rights movement, and the sinister Jack Mort from the 1970s, whose actions directly impact a familiar young boy. As these disparate worlds collide and new alliances form, Roland confronts a brewing cosmic conflict threatening to derail his ultimate mission.
