In the late 1980s, seven children living in the town of Derry, Maine, discover that a supernatural entity is behind a series of disappearances in the town. This entity primarily takes the form of a clown named Pennywise but can also assume other shapes that reflect each child’s individual fears. The group members also face personal struggles including family issues and social pressures. Bill investigates the disappearance of his younger brother Georgie; Beverly contends with abuse at home. The other children confront peer bullying or other personal challenges. The children decide to unite against the entity they perceive as a common threat. During their investigations, they learn that Pennywise is connected to recurring events in the town’s history and emerges approximately every 27 years. Ultimately, the group confronts the entity. The story centers on their efforts to solve the mysterious occurrences in the town and neutralize the threat.
