Summary

When the button box shows unexpectedly at Gwendy Peterson's office in Washington, D.C., she is angry and terrified. 

It's been nearly 25 years since the box, with its dual powers of good and evil, first entered her life. Gwendy is a grownup coping with real-world issues. 

Two teenage girls have vanished without a trace in her hometown of Castle Rock. Her spouse is stationed on the Indonesian island of Timor, a place ripped apart by political strife. 

Gwendy is a congresswoman coping with a president that she and her constituents fear may launch a war with North Korea. 

The emergence of the box resurrects Gwendy's old anxiety that her success in life would be due to the box's enchantment rather than her own hard work.

Gwendy feels tempted to exploit the box's abilities to fix her issues. She is aware that if she presses the red button, the box will fulfill her every want. 

Gwendy may press the button to eliminate the insurgents in Timor, allowing her husband to return home. She may also use the box's power to assassinate the president and end the country's involvement in a conflict. 

Because Gwendy understands that each of these seemingly simple remedies has ramifications, she resists the urge to utilize the power of the box.

Meanwhile, Gwendy is assisting the Castle County Sheriff in the search for two girls who have gone missing in Castle Rock

Deborah Parker, a third girl, goes missing just after Christmas, while Gwendy is still at Castle Rock for the holidays. 

During the town's New Year's Eve party, Gwendy experiences an unusual experience. Gwendy falls on the ice on her way to her car but is saved by Lucas Browne, a young guy she met during the hunt for the missing girls. 

When Lucas touches Gwendy's hand, she sees him standing over the missing girl, which leads her to believe he is the kidnapper. 

Gwendy informs the sheriff that Lucas is the kidnapper based on her experience. Deborah is rescued when the Browne's home is searched. The bodies of the two other missing females have been discovered on the premises.

Gwendy sees Richard Farris, the guy who gave her the box when she was a youngster, at the airport on her way back to Washington for an early Congressional session. 

She asks him whether the vision she saw that resulted in Lucas' arrest originated from the box. 

Richard reveals that he doesn't comprehend all of the box's abilities, which makes Gwendy nervous. 

He informs her that she proved herself by resisting the desire to use the box to fix her difficulties. 

Most importantly, Richard tells her that her achievement is a result of her hard work and not because of the box.
