This sprawling saga follows a group of childhood friends from a small town who band together to confront an ancient evil that preys on their community every 27 years. The narrative weaves between their formative years and their adult lives, as they must reunite to face the horror that shaped them. It's a masterful blend of coming-of-age and terrifying horror, exploring the enduring power of friendship, trauma, and the strength of imagination against an unspeakable foe.
It is the children who see - and feel - what makes the town so horribly different. In the storm drains and sewers It lurks, taking the shape of every nightmare, each one's deepest dread. As the children grow up and move away, the horror of It is buried deep - until they are called back.
