Synopsis
When a deadly virus escapes from a government research facility, few prove to be immune to its effects. With symptoms similar to the flu, those who come into contact with it quickly die. One survivor is Stu Redmond, a gas station attendant from Texas, who suffers no ill effects whatsoever. Kept in a medical research facility in Vermont, doctors try to determine why he is still alive. Others that also survive include Frannie Goldsmith who lives with her dad; Nick Andros, a deaf-mute; a rock musician, Larry Underwood; and Lloyd Henreid, in jail for murder. Survivors begin to have dreams, either about an old Afican-American woman, Mother Abigail, or a much scarier evil man.

Never finish watching this. Seriously. Also never finish reading the book. The Stand was Kings best book (arguably) right up until the end. And, unfortunately this is King's best made-for-TV adaptation up until the end. The ending kind of really stinks. But everything up until the end is three ways of total awesomeness.
