Synopsis:
This psychological thriller based on Stephen King's novel Misery follows successful romance novelist Paul Sheldon, who is rescued from a car crash and wakes up captive in a secluded home owned by his self-identified "number one fan," Annie Wilkes. While Paul is convalescing, Annie reads the manuscript of his latest book and becomes enraged when she discovers the author has killed off her favorite character, Misery Chastain. Annie forces Paul to write a new Misery novel and he quickly realizes Annie has no intention of letting him go. The irate Annie has Paul writing as if his life depends on it - and it does.

List of characters:
Annie Wilkes: (Female, age presenting 35-60) A former nurse who comes to Paul's rescue (seemingly). As his "Number One Fan", Annie at times can be a kind, tender woman who cares deeply for Paul, even if she does seem slightly off. There is also another side to Annie that is manipulative, cunning, volatile, dark, and hides terrifying malice behind her cheery simple fa?ade.

Paul Sheldon: (Male, age presenting 35-60) A famed romance novelist tired of the series that has brought him the most acclaim. Returning from a retreat to finish his most recent work, he is involved in a terrible car crash that leaves him with broken legs and unable to care for himself. He is forced into a high-stakes psychological game where he must eventually reconcile his own survival with the absolute demands of his captor. He's thoughtful, if not a touch arrogant, and extremely crafty.

Buster: (Male, age presenting 35-60) The Sheriff of a nearby town searching for Paul. A detail-oriented detective who gathers information through casual conversation and a keen eye while maintaining a polite, professional distance.
