A trail of ritualistic murders threatens the community of Bright Falls, a small town surrounded by the nature of the Pacific Northwest. Saga Anderson, a renowned FBI agent known for solving impossible cases, arrives on the scene to investigate the murders. Anderson's case turns into a nightmare when she discovers the pages of a horror story that begins to come to life around her.
Alan Wake, a writer trapped in a nightmare outside our world, writes a dark story in an attempt to manipulate the reality around him and escape his imprisonment. With a dark horror hunting him, Wake tries to maintain his sanity and defeat the devil at his own game.
Anderson and Wake are two heroes facing two desperate journeys in two separate realities, connected in a way that neither of them can understand: they mirror and echo each other, influencing the worlds around them.
Drawing energy from the horror story, the supernatural darkness invades Bright Falls, corrupting the inhabitants and threatening the loved ones of Anderson and Wake. Light is their weapon, and their safe refuge, against the spreading darkness. Trapped in a sinister horror story where there are only victims and monsters, will they be able to become the heroes they must be?
