The Plot and Characters

Upon following the mystery, he is spirited away to Mid-World where he encounters a Gunslinger, Roland Deschain, who is on a quest to reach the “Dark Tower” that resides in End-World and reach the nexus point between time and space that he hopes will save all existence from extinction by Hell. But with various monsters and a vicious sorcerer named Walter Padick hot on their trail, the unlikely duo find that their quest may be difficult to complete.
The storyline centers around Jake Chambers, played by Tom Taylor, who stumbles upon a portal to another dimension known as Mid-World. Here, he meets Roland Deschain, the last of the Gunslingers, who is determined to reach the Dark Tower. The Dark Tower is a mystical structure that stands at the nexus of all universes, and its destruction would mean the end of reality as we know it. Roland’s mission is to protect the Tower from the evil sorcerer Walter Padick, also known as the Man in Black, portrayed by Matthew McConaughey.
