Summary
On the day Will Byers should board a plane to New York, Vecna pulls him backward through time. His eighteen-year-old consciousness wakes in his twelve-year-old body, one week before the Demogorgon takes him into the Upside Down. Meanwhile, twelve-year-old Will finds himself trapped in 1989, disoriented and alone at an airport, calling the one person who still answers: Mike Wheeler.
Two versions of Will exist across six years of distance. One carries memories of everything they survived: monsters, sacrifices, El's death, and words left unspoken between him and Mike. The other knows nothing of the horrors ahead or why his best friend sounds so heartbroken on the phone.
Armed with the knowledge of every tragedy to come, older Will faces an impossible choice. He could save them all, and rewrite everything. The clock ticks toward November 6th, and Will must decide what matters more: the lives he could save or the truth he never had the courage to speak.
