    Summary

    Will Byers finds himself burnt out at 22 after four years of living in California. Driving home to Hawkins with only a few days' notice, he calls Mike at the last possible second, breaking months of silence.

    As old wounds resurface and the past refuses to stay buried, Mike and Will find themselves comforting each other in ways that blur the line between friendship and something more.

    Finally tending to the baggage they’ve been carrying for years, they learn to reclaim their stolen youth, and make peace with the past, while always finding their way back to each other, time after time.
