Jack Thatch je chlapec z Pittsburghu, jehož od smrti obou rodičů vychovává tetička Jo. O tom smutném výročí chodí navštěvovat jejich hrob. A právě na hřbitově se Jack osmého srpna 1984 ve svých osmi letech setká se zvláštní osmiletou Stellou Nettletonovou. Když ji uvidí sedět na lavičce s Dickensovými Nadějnými vyhlídkami, ještě netuší, jak zásadní význam toto seznámení bude mít. Z nepochopitelného důvodu začne být dívkou posedlý a chodí ji vyhlížet na hřbitov, nicméně znovu ji potká až po roce, opět osmého, na stejné lavičce. Dívku obestírají záhady a Jack se o ní marně snaží něco dozvědět. Potom se v jedenácti letech, po dalším setkání, probere v zastrčené uličce vedle strašlivě spáleného muže v nedotčeném oblečení. Případ vyšetřuje policejní detektiv Faustino Brier, jehož to nepřekvapí, protože oběti v tomto stavu nachází každoročně osmého srpna už po mnoho let. Daleko odsud mezitím vyrůstá ve výzkumné laboratoři další chlapec ve stejném věku, který vládne schopností tak děsivou, že ho drží v naprosté izolaci.
