   Summary

   All is swell after the “earthquake” hit Hawkins. The kids are back at school, the military haunts the streets, the Byers live with the Wheelers, the team just recently started up with the crawls, and Will and Mike have been getting closer. But all that changes when a car pulls up in front of Hawkins High.
   Suddenly, Will is whisked away for legal reasons, and those back in Hawkins have to work tirelessly to get him back. Meanwhile, Will’s life gets turned upside down, and he is thrusted into the custody of his first ever bully: Lonnie Byers.
   Follow the group as they struggle with complex feelings, mental and legal battles, and the story of Will’s heartbreaking past being rewritten in present day (or for us, the 1980’s).

   Takes place somewhere in the 18 month time gap before season 5, maybe closer to season 4.

   Title from “Time After Time” by Cyndi Lauper
