King outlines the total breakdown and destruction of society through ''widespread violence, the failure of martial law to contain the outbreak, and eventually the death of just about everyone''.

They are drawn together to Las Vegas, Nevada by their shared dreams of Randall Flagg, a 108 year old black woman from Hemingford Homerecurring villian in King's stories, Nebraska, whom they see as a refugewho has supernatural powers.
