The reclusive Annie Wilkes is the the self-confessed number one fan of famed writer, Paul Sheldon. Sheldon, a romance novelist and the creator of the fictional icon, Misery Chastain, is saved from an automobile accident by Wilkes and taken to her isolated home where she begins to nurse him back to health. Paul believes that Annie is his salvation…until she discovers what plans Paul has for his literary creation. So begins a deadly game of cat and mouse between captive and captor that will have audiences on the edge of seats in suspense.
