  Summary

  A lot has happened in the 18 months since Hawkins got divided by their biggest enemy. Normality has returned, even though the overall situation is anything but that.

  Until one night when everything goes wrong and it spirals out of control.

  During all of it Will learns to accept himself and realizes how important it is to be able to count on your loved ones.

  Because Will and his friends are facing a major battle.

  And the biggest question we have to ask ourselves is: Can love defeat fear?
