   Summary

   Dustin Henderson had spent the last eight years searching for something. What exactly, he didn’t quite know. And even if he did, he would never admit it to anyone, much less himself. In theory, he had everything he ever dreamed and imagined. He graduated valedictorian back in 1989, got his PhD from Duke in Astrophysics, moved to Colorado to work on a brand new satellite for a company he loved, and he and his best friend Steve still took annual trips every summer. What more could he possibly want? One holiday trip to Hawkins, Indiana, in December 1997 may lead him one step closer to what he’s looking for… well, that and a one-way ticket to Iceland.
