   Summary

   Seven years after the death of Will Byers, Mike Wheeler tries to move on with his life, finding success that can never truly fill the emptiness left in his heart. But when Will begins appearing in places where he shouldn't possibly exist, Mike finds himself caught between reality, memories, and the hope he buried long ago. If Will is truly still out there somewhere, how far will Mike go to find him again?
