Comic book fan Flora saves a squirrel whose superhero powers bring hope and wonder to her family.

From the world of Stephen King and Andy Muschietti (It and It: Chaper Two), this prequel series returns to Derry, Maine – an idyllic town with a long-buried evil lurking beneath its surface. Following a group of friends in 1962, this terrifying origin story traces the reign of a multidimensional entity in its current, most horrific form: a murderous, shape-shifing clown known as Pennywise.

A mysterious force lurks off the coast of Block Island, influencing its residents and wildlife. Dead fish roll up on shore, birds drop from the sky, and fisherman, Tom Lynch, hasn't been the same in weeks. It's not the blackouts that worry his family the most, it's his sudden violent outbursts. It won't be long before the family discovers there's one ominous thread that ties everything together.
