It began for the Losers on a day in June of 1958, the day the school let out for summer. That was the day Henry Bowers carved the first letter of his name on Ben Hanscom's belly and chased him into the Barrens, the day Henry and his Neanderthal friends beat up on Stuttering Bill Denbrough and Eddie Kaspbrak, the day Stuttering Bill had to save Eddie from his worst asthma attack ever by riding his bike to beat the devil. It ended in August, with seven desperate children in search of a creature of such unspeakable evil in the drains beneath Derry. In search of It. And somehow it ended. Or so they thought. Then......

On a spring night in 1985 Mike Hanlon, once one of those children, makes six calls. Stan Uris "accountant", Ben Hanscom "renowned architect", Beverly Rogan "dress designer", Eddie Kaspbrak "owner of a sucessful NewYork limousine company", and Bill Denbrough "bestselling writter of horror novels". These six men and one woman have forgotten their childhoods, have forgotten the time when they were Losers.....but an unremembered promise draws them back, the present begins to rhyme dreadfully with the past, and the Losers reunite, the wheels of fate lock together and roll them toward the ultimate terror.
