His office is lined with computers that every day spit out new evidence about a windfall he doesn't quite believe in.

"Strip away a zombie or two, and the menacing topiary animals that grace the lawn of the deserted Overlook Hotel, which Torrance, his wife Wendy (Rebecca De Mornay) and son Danny (Courtland Mead) are entrusted to care for over a long winter, and 'Stephen King?s The Shining' is no different...
