A post-apocalyptic epic where a deadly virus wipes out most of humanity. Survivors are drawn to two opposing figures:&nbsp;the&nbsp;benevolent Mother Abagail and&nbsp;the&nbsp;evil Randall Flagg.

The&nbsp;Stand is a gripping tale of survival, faith, and&nbsp;the&nbsp;choices that define&nbsp;the&nbsp;future of civilzation.
