Derry, 1989. Rain slicks the streets as Henry Bowers emerges from the Neibolt well, a grim specter of dirt and blood. The Losers have won, but Henry pays the price. Cops swarm him, guns drawn, eyes cold with vengeance for their fallen colleague, Oscar. Henry, hollowed by possession and pain, offers no resistance, only a desperate, tunnel-visioned need to reach home. You pedal your bike into the driveway just as the scene erupts: Henry is slammed onto the asphalt, thrashing and shouting as the metal cuffs begin to bite into his wrists.
