Don't you know how it ends, Bill? You started the story. Now you've got to finish it. As the end looms just ahead of them, Bill remembers how it all began--and begins to grasp the role he has to play in the days ahead. But as the past comes, fragmented, into focus, it begins to reassert itself in other ways, too. Once they remember--truly remember--who they are to each other, will any of them be able to walk away from it all? Or will the challenge in front of them feel even more impossible once the Losers know they have something to lose?

Well...at least you know you didn't come back here for nothing. As the Losers begin to remember the shape of their shared past, they're faced with a choice: to confront a thing they desperately want to forget, or to run from a home they've only just started to rediscover. But then again, maybe they don't have as much of a choice as they think. One thing's for sure--if they stay in Derry, the past is bound to catch up. And right now, It knows them better than they know themselves.

We have to stop It now. Because we didn't stop It last time. The past closes in on our heroes as a bond bigger than any of them slowly reclaims their lives. Here, in the place where they grew up, there are secrets waiting for them--dark secrets, terrible secrets, things which have defined the courses of their lives even from a million miles away. But there are other things here, too--things which just might be strong enough to save them all.
