 Adapted by Simon Moore from the novel by Stephen King 

Popular romance novelist Paul Sheldon travels each year to Colorado to write another novel featuring heroine Misery Chastain.  Driving while inebriated, he loses control of his car.  He regains consciousness in a dilapidated farmhouse, cut off from the outside world by a blizzard.  Annie, the mysterious occupant, is his number one fan, and she insists she will nurse him.  She discovers that his new book is not about Misery and forces him to destroy it and write another.  Thus begins Paul’s descent into a living hell of pain, humiliation and degradation as he must write a new chapter every day to stay alive….
