When the writer Paul Sheldon lets the main character of his novel series "Misery" die, he believes he is liberated: now he can finally write profound literature! But just as he has finished his first ambitious novel, he gets into a car accident ...

He wakes up in strange surroundings and looks into the face of an unknown woman: Annie Wilkes. She has dragged him out of the wrecked car and taken him to her secluded farm to look after him. It turns out that Annie is not only a competent nurse but also Paul's biggest fan with an unearthly love for his novel character Misery.

When she learns that Misery has died in the latest book, Annie reacts brutally: she forces the weakened Paul to write a new book in which Misery is resurrected - she won't let him go any sooner! A game of mutual dependency breaks out on the remote farm, which escalates into physical violence ...
