25 Jahre nachdem sie ein mongoloides Kind vor Schlägern gerettet haben, treffen sich vier Männer zu ihrem jährlichen Jagdausflug. Als ein Fremder ins Lager stolpert und etwas von Lichtern am Himmel stammelt, beginnt der Horror.
Once upon a time, in the haunted city of Derry (site of Stephen King's IT and INSOMNIA), four young boys stood together and did a brave thing; something that changed them in ways they hardly understand.
A quarter-century later, the boys are men who have gone their separate ways although they still get together once a year, to go hunting in the north woods of Maine. But this time a man comes stumbling into their camp, lost, disoriented and muttering about lights in the sky. Before long, these old friends will be plunged into the most remarkable events of their lives and a terrible struggle with a creature from another world. Their only chance of survival is locked in their past and in the boy they once rescued as a child.
