Summary
Days before Will Byers vanished on October 6 in 1983, Hawkins lost another: Samantha Harrington. Known as "Sam the Savage," Steve’s younger sister was always too bold for her own good. While the town focused on the search for Will, Sam is already fighting for her life in the Upside Down. When the two finally crossed paths, they didn't just survive—they evolved.
Forged into a unexpected duo, Sam and Will become masters of the Upside Down. By the time the town gathered for the funerals of Will & Sam, the pair haven't just escaped the Upside Down; they’ve infiltrated Hawkins Lab. Unseen by Dr. Brenner and his team, they haunt the facility like living ghosts, using the vents and shadows to wage psychological terror on the man who let them rot.
Their new mission? Break out a lab subject known as Eleven. While everyone in Hawkins mourned their deaths, Sam and Will became Dr. Brenner’s worst nightmare. They aren't the kids Hawkins remembered; they were brave, savage, ruthless. And they weren't leaving, until the Lab burned to a crisp. In this rewrite, the Party doesn't find Will—Will and Sam find them.
