When a family takes charge of a snowbound hotel for the winter, the boy who sees things must survive his own father.

Longer logline

When a failing writer moves his wife and son into an enormous hotel to caretake it through the winter, in a world where a boy with a gift can see what happened in room 237 and the road out closes behind them, a family cut off by snow must survive the man of the house, before whatever has been waiting in the ballroom finishes talking him into it.
