    Summary

    New York in the 90s is chaos, the kind of chaos that people like Will Byers thrive in. As an emerging artist that attends a college in Manhattan, Will Byers thinks he has his life sorted out. An apartment with a view, a boyfriend who treats Will well (even if Will doesn’t love him), and a life filled with people who accepted him for who he was.

    When Will meets the bassist of a local punk band, his life gets a whole lot messier.
