Best-selling novelist Alan Wake has lost his gift. The creative well has run dry, and he's had nary an idea in more than two years. Desperate to stoke her husband's waning imagination, Alan's wife brings him to Bright Palls, Washington, an idyllic small town nestled in the rugged landscape of the Pacific Northwest.

The eerie world of Bright Falls recalls that of David Lynch's Twin Peaks or any of Stephen King's creepy Maine settings.
