Cities may feel alive but that's only because man has filled them to the brim with its people and creations. There's this thing about small towns, the veil is thinned from the lack of people and the air is somehow electrically sweet.

Marina Byrne moved from the big city when she got word that her daughter was becoming more and more unstable, often leaving Marina's granddaughter neglected. Hawkins, Indiana reminded her of one of those places her superstitious mother wove stories about. A place where things aren't quite right.

Nonetheless, she brought her life partner Lucille with her to this small corner of the world and it gave them more purpose than any bustling city ever could. Heather Jane and Benjamin Anthony.

Heather Jane, raised by her Nan and Lucille, was never that present. A rough childhood brought that on her and she could never quite shake the feeling of being underwater. Few things stuck with her, a healthy belief in superstition and a fierce loyalty to her family.

What happens when she figures out how to pull herself through it all, learning how to tread water at last?
