The Creed family Louis, Rachel, and their children Ellie and Gage move from Chicago to Ludlow, Maine, where they befriend elderly neighbor Jud Crandall, who takes them to an isolated pet cemetery hidden behind the Creeds new home.While working at the University of Maine, Louis meets Victor Pascow, who is brought in with severe injuries from a car accident. He warns Louis about the pet cemetery before he dies, calling Louis by name despite the fact they have not previously met. After he dies, Pascow comes to Louis in a dream to tell him about the dangers inherent at the cemetery. Louis awakens assuming it was a dream, but notices his feet are covered in dirt, indicating he had gone to the cemetery. During Thanksgiving while the family is gone, Ellies cat Church is run down on the highway by the house. Jud takes Louis beyond the cemetery and buries Church where he says the real burial ground is. Church comes back to life, though a shell of what he was before he now seems more feral. Sometime later, Gage is killed by a truck along the same highway. When Louis questions Jud on whether humans have been buried in the cemetery before, Jud recounts a story of a friend named Bill who buried his son Timmy who died in World War II at the site, but he came back changed. Realizing the horror he brought to the townsfolk, Jud and some other friends tried destroying Timmy by burning him to death in the house, but Bill refused to get out without Timmy and both perished. ........
