   Summary

   Elementary school teacher Steve deals with his lackluster love life and his rascal group of kids, including his "adopted" brother Dustin.
   Successful writer Eddie moves back to Hawkins to rekindle his creativity for his new trilogy, bringing with him a scent of petrichor and bergamot.
   The very same scent Steve had noticed nearly fifteen years ago and never stopped thinking about.

   What if these two acquainted schoolmates run into each other and decide to catch up on their lives?

   A story about reconnecting with the past, overcoming present obstacles and working towards a new future - together.
