      Ak si nespomenieš, neprežiješ. Ak si spomenieš, zomrieš. Derry nie je obyčajné malomesto. Pod jeho povrchom spí prastaré zlo. Vždy keď sa prebudí, na niekoľko rokov rozpúta v Derry a okolí smršť neopísateľných hrôz. Strašná sila, ktorú možno nazvať len To, ovláda obyvateľov, vraždí nevinné deti a zdá sa, že ju neuspokojí nič okrem najvyššej obete. Kto ju prinesie tentoraz? Skupinka priateľov, ktorí v Derry vyrástli, dnes žije roztrúsená vo všetkých kútoch sveta. Sú bohatí, úspešní aj slávni, ale nie sú šťastní. A najmä im chýba veľká časť spomienok na desivé udalosti z detstva. Kto im vymazal pamäť? Ak to chcú zistiť, musia sa opäť stretnúť s pradávnym zlom. Kedysi sa mu dokázali vzoprieť a prežiť. Ale dnes už nie sú deťmi a niečo podstatné, čo im kedysi pomohlo zahnať To, im chýba.

      Darkness has fallen on the city of Portland, Oregon. One by one, the wives of affluent and respected men are vanishing from their homes. The only clues to their disappearance are a single black rose and a note that reads, "Gone, But Not Forgotten." It is the rebirth of a horror that has already devastated a community at the opposite end of the country—and, as it did then, terror and death will follow. Defense attorney Betsy Tannenbaum is trapped in a nightmare as the shadows of a killer darken her world. And she will soon be risking everything she has and everyone she loves to defend a cold, powerful, and manipulating client who may be a victim . . . or a monster.
