Summary
18 months have passed since Vecna completed the first step of the end of the world; four rifts merging into one to create a massive portal to the "Upside Down", meeting right in the heart of Hawkins, Indiana. The military has moved in to control the chaos, locking everyone who was not able to escape Hawkins, keeping a tight leash and watchful eyes over its citizens. Things have been suspiciously quiet from the Upside Down, leaving the Party on edge for what's next. Well, what's left of the party. Max is still in a coma, Lucas Sinclair by her side indefinitely, Dustin turning grief from Eddie's death into increasingly irrational action, and Eleven more focused on training than ever and emotionally distant from everyone. The Byers' have been living at the Wheeler residence, brewing multiple inter-personal conflicts that leave everyone uncertain of each other. Will is just happy to be beside his best friend, Mike, even if he doesn't seem completely there anymore.
With everyone distracted by their own emotional turmoil, no one notices Mike slowly disappearing from everything, leaving a perfect hidden target for Vecna to make his return. When this happens, only one thing lingers on everyone's minds; why Mike?
