Description:

With the near-apocalyptic events of the 1980s over and done with, the survivors of Hawkins attempt to regain some sense of normalcy in their lives. A new decade awaits, unmarred by the insanity that once loomed overhead, but moving on is easier said than done...

Will Byers and Mike Wheeler, once inseparable friends, find their bond shaken in the aftermath. Taunted by unspoken secrets and mocked by insidious fears, their paths diverge... but they never truly leave one another. Fundamentally incomplete, they build their own hollow lives in solitude...

When choice and chance eventually leads them to reunite, they are forced to face their demons once and for all...
