"In which a group of kids meet in a mental hospital, brought together to fight against an angry supernatural force - pennywise the clown."
Eddie Kaspbrak is caught in the world that is an adolescent mental health unit in his hometown Derry, Maine. Labelled as insane and schizophrenic, no one sees what he sees, until he meets a new group of friends, the Losers Club, banded together through shared mental struggles. The one thing they wish they didn't share in common, were visions and hallucinations of the same, red balloon possessing clown. Together, they battle to overcome all their personal fears, to destroy the dangerous, murderous terrorising clown, all while creating relationships and handling the day to day struggles of being mentally damaged in a heavily controlled environment.
"I'm not insane!" Eddie screeched, grabbing at his mother's dress. He tugged harshly on the cheap dress, begging for his life. "The clown is real! Please! He'll kill me in here!" He kicked at the nurses trying to take him. "It's for the best, baby." His mother attempted to reassure him, taking his hand. He sobbed, screaming at the very top of his lungs. "Don't leave me here!" As much as he hated home, a mental hospital was no better. Suddenly he was jabbed with a needle, a pumping ache racing through his arms. He gasped, watching his mother look at him tearfully. The world began to slow around him, and he began to weaken. He sobbed softly, watching the world close around him, the sedative taking course in his body. He lifted his head to the side, and the last thing he saw was a group of kids watching him pitifully.
