Annie is very upset over what Paul did to Misery and demands that he find a way to bring her back by writing a new novelâhis best yet, and one thatâs all for her. After all, Paul has all the time in the world to do so as a prisoner in her isolated house...and Annie has some very persuasive and violent methods to get exactly what she wants...
