Summary
It's summer in Hawkins. It has been a year since the possession, and Will Byers is doing his best to navigate through change. While everyone else seems busy falling in love, he forces a smile, desperately trying to be normal. He tries to keep up with his friends, holding onto the childhood they seem eager to leave behind. He swallows his frustrations, hiding the fear that never really left. His walls crumbling, and as he desperately tries to keep them standing, the Mind Flayer returns.
But despite everything, a boy—confident, athletic, and surprisingly nerdy—suddenly comes into his life. Chance Lawson inadvertently becomes Will’s friend, joining the Party (?), changing the course of his fate. He carries an easy confidence, but beneath it lies a cautious, sympathetic heart that understands Will’s silence. He steps in with a gentle warmth that feels completely new, proving to Will that he doesn't have to carry the weight of the world on his own.
Then, maybe Will’s summer wouldn’t be as awful as it could’ve been.
