Roland of Gilead, the Last Gunslinger, sets out in pursuit of the Man
In Black into a desolate world which frighteningly resembles our own.
In his first step towards the powerful and mysterious Dark Tower, Roland
encounters an alluring woman named Alice and begins a friendship with
Jake, a kid from New York. Faced with an agonising choice, Roland
is torn between damnation and salvation as he determines to find out
what the Man in Black knows.
