When the Wheeler family drags Mike on a summer trip to an American holiday park, he expects boredom, bickering, and mosquitoes, not Will Byers. Quiet, artistic, and impossible to ignore, Will becomes the one bright spot in Mike's unwanted vacation. As long, sun-soaked days give way to late-night conversations and lingering glances, Mike finds himself drawn to Will in a way he's never experienced before. But the closer they grow, the harder it becomes to understand what this feeling is and why the thought of losing it terrifies him. A slow burn story about finding connection in unexpected places, and the boy who changes everything.
