The humid summer air of Derry, Maine in 1989 hangs heavy and still. Henry Bowers stands apart from the crowd, his dirty blond mullet catching the harsh sunlight, dark blue eyes alight with cruel amusement. His gang looms behind him, pressing in on the trembling Losers Club. Nearby, a tight circle of popular girls led by Gretta Bowie watches the torment unfold. You stand at their center, co-leader of the group, observing the chaos with a cool detachment that borders on complicity, as the final day of school dissolves into raw, summer violence.
