The Dark Tower is like a giant bathtub stopper; if removed, everything drains away. Both the Crimson King and the Man in Black aim to reach the top of the tower and remake all existence to their liking. That, they topple it. The problem is the physical representation of the tower only exists in one reality, thus the world-hopping escapades.
In the books, the only reason the tower is in trouble at all is because folks replaced the infallible magic of the Beams with technology. At the start of the story, several Beams are broken, and more are in danger.

After being attacked by the mutants, Roland awakens in a hospital run by vampires. Roland begins to care for one of the vampires, Sister Jenna as she and the others take care of him. Roland also meets a boy named John Norman who tells him the nurses are vampires. Sister Jenna begins to give Roland herbs to help him heal.
Roland discovers the only reason the vampires haven't killed him is that he is wearing a gold necklace with God written on it, something he discovers when John who is also wearing one is killed by removing it. Roland and Sister Jenna soon escape but are stopped by Sister Mary the head of the organization.
However, Sister Mary is killed by the Jesus Dog , a dog with a cross on it Roland discovered in town. Roland and Jenna go to a cave and sleep. When Roland awakes he finds Jenna has turned into a swarm of doctor bugs. Roland moves on towards the Mohaine Desert. As he crosses the desert Roland encounters a hermit by the name of Brown and his bird Zoltan. During his stay with Brown, Roland tells about the town of Tull and his stay there.
Roland had arrived in Tull during his pursuit of the man in black. In Tull, Roland met Nort , a local weed eater who had recently died, and Allie. He takes Allie to bed to discover what happened to the weed eater too which she responds with a story of how Nort died and was brought back to life by the man in black.
Roland decides to stay in the town for a bit and meets Sylvia Pittston , the pastor at the local church. She reveals she has been impregnated by the man in black with a child of the Crimson King. Roland uses his gun to rape the unborn child out of Sylvia.
An outraged Sylvia turns the entire town against Roland and they begin to attack but the gunslinger uses his guns and kills the entire population of the town of Tull. Roland finishes his story still in the confines of Brown's hut and the next day moves on. As Roland crosses the desert he comes across a waystation and meets a young boy named Jake. Jake is a boy who seems to be from another world, thus Roland hypnotizes him to reveal where he's from.
The boy is actually from New York City and was murdered by a man in black, Roland believes this is the same one he now pursues. As they prepare to leave, Roland goes down into the cellar for some food. In the cellar, a Speaking Demon speaks to Roland after their palaver Roland reaches into the hole the demon was speaking from and pulls free a jawbone. He and Jake depart from the way station and begin their trek across the desert.
They eventually come to a mountainous range and camp for the night. Roland awakens to find Jake is missing and goes looking for him. He finds Jake, who is about to be seduced by a succubus. The gunslinger gives the jawbone to Jake and has him go back to camp while Roland seduces the succubus instead.
Whilst coupled with the succubus he discovers his fate and the path to the tower. Roland and Jake continue on their venture into the mountains where they come across a gang of Slow Mutants. Roland battles with the mutants and they eventually come upon the exit of the cavern, where the man in black is waiting for them. Jake trips on a bridge leading to the way out and Roland has a choice: to catch the man in black and let Jake die, or save Jake and never catch the man in black.
Roland lets Jake fall to his death, forever being haunted by his words "there are other worlds than these. They meet in a Golgotha and palaver.
The man in black reads Roland's fate from Tarot cards. Roland's fate includes The Sailor , The Prisoner , The Lady of Shadows , death , life which the man in black burns , and the Tower at the center of everything.
The man in black tells Roland he is only a pawn for Roland's true enemy who now controls the Tower itself. The man in black tries to convince Roland to give up on his quest by creating a representation of the universe and showing him how insignificant he is.
Roland refuses and is forced to sleep. When he awakens, ten years have passed and there is a skeleton next to him, which he believes to be the man in black.
Roland departs from the Golgotha and sits at the edge of the Western Sea contemplating the next step in his quest for the Dark Tower. After the encounter with The Man in Black, Roland awakes on the beach tired and disoriented. Here he is attacked by a Lobstrosity a large lobster like-monster. After a battle with it, resulting in the loss of two fingers on his right hand, a toe and a chunk of flesh, the creature is stomped down by the gunslinger.
Little did Roland know that he was slowly being poisoned by the creature which he did suspect when it slashed at him with its claws and bit at the gunslinger. The Gunslinger continues walking along the beach knowing that he must "draw the three" as Walter had told him in their Palaver. However, the Gunslinger falls sick from the poison from the Lobstrosity he had encountered.
He stumbles about the beach for many days regularly falling and he thinks that he almost meets his end at one time at that cold gray beach. He eventually finds the strength and will to move on as he sees an object in the distance. Walking for many days he eventually comes to a door standing on the beach. It looks to lead to nowhere and when seen from the other end it is not visible. Upon opening the door he is thrown into a different world, and the mind of The Prisoner, Eddie Dean , a heroin junkie.
With Eddie, Roland helps his new acquaintance fight off the gangster Enrico Balazar and his lackeys. It is revealed that Henry Dean was murdered while Eddie ran drugs for Balazar. After the battle with Balazar Roland beckons Eddie to join him in his quest and a skeptical and untrusting Eddie Dean agrees. Since exiting the door marked " The Pusher " Roland had been having a paradox in his head and living two different timelines.
