Two years after the death of her husband, celebrated author Scott Landon, Lisa (Lisey) Landon finally faces the challenge of cleaning out Scott's study. While doing so, she is forced to face memories of their life together in this world and in another, alternate world Scott would retreat to from time to time, a place he called Boo'ya Moon. During this time, Lisey resists pressure from a professor to donate Scott's papers to his university's library. She cannot be bothered with this; her sister Amanda has gone into a catatonic state over the marriage of her boyfriend to another woman and Lisey needs to find a health care facility for her. Lisey receives a phone call from a man calling himself Jim Dooley, warning her that if she does not donate the papers, he will hurt her. Although Lisey ignores the threat, she soon finds Dooley in Scott's study, where he physically assaults and mutilates her. Recalling Scott's healing trips to Boo'ya Moon, Lisey goes there to mend herself. When she returns, she knows where she needs to take Amanda to cure her mental illness and where Jim Dooley must die.

This lengthy story transits from the past to the present and back to the past again, in an entertaining way that keeps the reader engaged and eager for more. Lisey is a strong woman mourning her husband's death who finds herself not only caretaker of her sister Amanda but also the person her family turns to in times of crisis. Reminiscent of King's earlier works, Lisey's Story is an electrifying read, with in-depth characterization and a plot that demands the reader's constant attention.
