Derry has never been kind to Lily.
In a town where evil lingers beneath the surface and silence is a form of survival, Lily grows up learning how to endure rather than live. With a difficult home life and a future that feels like a dead end, she plans to leave Derry behind the moment she gets the chance-before it takes anything more from her.
But Derry doesn't let go so easily.
Everything begins to change when Lily crosses paths with a group of kids who call themselves the Losers Club-each of them marked by fear, loss, and the same unexplainable darkness haunting the town. As disappearances begin and whispers of something monstrous creep through the streets, Lily is pulled into a nightmare she can no longer ignore.
Among them is Stanley Uris-quiet, anxious, and desperate to keep control in a town built on chaos. Where Lily is guarded and worn down by life, Stanley clings to rules and logic as a way to survive. What starts as tentative conversation slowly turns into comfort, and then into something neither of them expected. In the middle of fear, blood, and unspeakable horror, they find warmth in each other-soft moments that feel almost out of place in a town like Derry.
As Pennywise awakens and the events of IT unfold-Georgie's death, the growing terror, and the Losers' fight to survive-Lily must confront her deepest fear: staying. Leaving Derry has always been her escape plan, but love has a way of complicating things.
Because sometimes, in a town built on nightmares, love becomes something worth staying for.
