1957. Het begon allemaal met een zesjarige jongen. Hij speelde tijdens een stortbui met een papieren bootje in de goot. Plotseling verdween het bootje in een kuil. Hij viel op zijn knieën en tuurde in het donkere gat. Een paar felgele ogen staarde hem aan... Zevenentwintig jaar later. Twee jongens slaan op straat een man meedogenloos in elkaar. Daarna gooien ze hem vanaf een brug in het water. Later vertellen ze aan de politie een vreemd verhaal. Hun slachtoffer werd door een clown uit het water gehaald. En toen gebeurde het: op een afstand leek het alsof de clown zijn tanden zette in de oksel van de man. Dit was nog maar het begin van een reeks onverklaarbare, angstaanjagende gebeurtenissen die het plaatsje Derry plotseling teisterden.
