   Summary

   "The perfect, idyllic life he built could be called complete. He had a home. A wife. Two kids. He achieved something. He took Hopper’s advice and chose the road to move on."

   It's 2024. After many years of accidental no contact, a divorced and depressed Mike Wheeler crosses paths with the boy he desperately wants to reconnect with: Will Byers. He shoots his shot for another chance.
