Summary
Hawkins, Texas. 1874. A small town with nothing much to attract attention. For the people that live there, like Steve Harrington, heir to the Harrington Ranch, it’s home. For anyone else, it’s just another place to pass through on the way deeper into the Wild West. Strange then that two newcomers would arrive on the same day, and send the town and its people into a spiral.
First, Doctor Martin Brenner – promising jobs in some new mines, despite it being common knowledge that Hawkins’s hills are dry of anything precious.
And second, Eddie Munson, a mystery man searching for something precious of his own. He wants nothing from anyone, even if he keeps finding himself smack-bang in the middle of trouble he could use all the help he can get getting out of.
To Steve, none of this can be a coincidence. Something is going on that he and the rest of his posse need to get to the bottom of, in order to keep their town safe. Getting close to Eddie proves difficult, much as Steve feels drawn to him. Getting answers out of Brenner seems impossible. But if he can’t find a way to do one or the other, the home he cares for so much might be wiped right off the map.
