Alivia Toizer is a lonely teenage girl in the late 80's. She is uhead of her times and everything just seems so, bland, to her. So every year she takes a trip to Derry, Maine, and she stays with her bestfriend, and cousin, Richie Toizer. One summer after a dreadful year back home, she goes on her traditional trip. This time, Richie's trashmouth gets her into trouble or perhaps gets her in love with trouble. With the most troubled kid in Derry. Henry Bowers. She becomes attached to him easily, which is uncommon for her, to the boy. Maybe it was his personality, how he was just like her. He was broken and hurt, but put up a wall with people, she knew the feeling. But as soon as they met each other it was like their walls had crumbled. They couldn't get each other out of their minds. Especially Alivia. She begins to have strange dreams about him and during that summer, they had fallen in deeper love than most married couples. The dreams cause her to do strange things as well. And she never remebers doing anythibg weird. The kind of love where every stupid decision depends on them. Weather it's if you should wear a jacket or not, it's because of them. But what happens when that beautiful love story that they created gets ripped from their hands because of a simple decision, a mistake. What happens when the person you care about most is always on your mind but you no longer have the ease of throwing rocks at their window? What happens when a evil clown is to blame for most of your unhappiness? Well, only one person would know. That would be Alivia Toizer.
