Elizabeth's grandmother wills her home to her after she passed, a home in a town completely new to Liz, Derry Maine, a place that her mother refused to return to now belongs to her. Always being somewhat of an outsider, she's use to the strange looks, but who are these women who say they knew her grandmother better than anyone else? Just what was her grandmother into? Why do children go missing every 27 years? Who is the clown that Liz keeps seeing? Who is this mysterious handsome stranger that simply goes by Bob Gray? And why is all of this suddenly feeling like deja vu? (Will have better summary as I write more)
