In 1985, author Gordie Lachance reads in the newspaper that his childhood best friend, Chris Chambers, has died. Gordie narrates an extended flashback, later revealed to be a story he is writing. The flashback tells of a childhood incident when he, Chris, and two buddies journeyed to find the body of a missing boy near the town of Castle Rock, Oregon during the Labor Day weekend in 1959.
Twelve-year-old Gordie’s parents are too busy grieving the recent death of Gordie’s older brother Denny to pay any attention to Gordie. Gordie’s friends are Chris, Teddy Duchamp, and Vern Tessio. While looking for money that he buried beneath his parents’ porch, Vern overhears his older brother Billy talking with a friend. Recently, Billy and his friend saw the missing boy named Ray Brower outside of town near train tracks and a river. Billy does not want to report the body because doing so could draw attention to the fact that he and his friend recently stole a car. When Vern tells Gordie, Chris, and Teddy, the four boys – hoping to become local heroes – decide to go looking for the body. After Chris steals his father’s pistol, he and Gordie run into local hoodlum John “Ace” Merrill and Chris’s older brother, Richard “Eyeball” Chambers. Ace threatens Chris with a lit cigarette and steals Gordie’s Yankees cap, which had been a gift from Gordie’s brother.
