Joe was hyper aware that everyone knew him as "Steve Harrington", and as much as that character had given him absolutely everything, he felt a pang of regret whenever he heard someone call his name from across the street, reaching for their phone before they had even said hello. He wanted to be "Just Joe". She, Iva Wilder, was anything but "known". A friend who would do absolutely anything for the people she cares about, a ride at 2am, a couch to crash on when things were tough. Iva always felt she was stuck in time, frozen still. Coming from a family with people who were very successful, she felt she didn't have the courage to do what she truly wanted, what her life calling was. When the two find each other in wraths of all the unknown, they find that sometimes things are just, that simple.

She grew up across the street from him. Joe was first crushes, porch lights, family parties, and everything Victoria never quite got over. Even when he left for college. Even when New York claimed him. Even when the world did too. Years later, Victoria is building a life through photography, art, and carefully controlled distance when she's invited on tour with Joe and his friends, but proximity has a way of exposing what time never erased. As old feelings collide with new realities, Victoria is forced to confront the hardest truth of all: loving someone for years doesn't mean they were ever yours.

It was just a contract. A fix for bad press. A perfectly staged relationship for the public eye. But somewhere between fake smiles and real conversations, the line blurred and feelings got involved. Now, with the world watching your every move, you're left wondering what happens when something that started as a lie becomes the most real thing you've ever had?

Julie García built her career on control. As one of the most sought-after tour managers in the industry, she's known for running flawless shows, fixing problems before they happen, and never, ever, losing her composure. Her reputation isn't just important, it's everything. But control is a fragile thing, especially when it comes to Joe Keery. Because no matter how perfectly she runs his tour, there's one thing she can't seem to manage; the way he looks at her like she's something worth breaking the rules for. And in an industry that destroys women for far less, one mistake is all it takes to lose everything.
