    Summary

    It's Summer, 1986. Jonathan Byers' friends have left in pursuit of exciting opportunities, his brother off to camp with his own crowd, his mom on a trip with a new romance. Jonathan is left alone, comforting himself by daydreaming of his muse, the boy he's been infatuated with since childhood, the one who got away, Steve Harrington. Little does he know, Steve has stayed behind for the Summer too. Worlds apart, the men are tethered together through their loneliness and the weight of feelings left unsaid. For Jonathan, the lines between imagination and reality begin to blur as their lives converge and new truths come to light.
