In the quiet town of Hawkins, Indiana, the Mayor's daughter lives a life dipped in soft pink, cassette tapes, and milkshakes at Mel's Drive-In. Everyone knows her. Everyone likes her. No one suspects that she is Subject 002 - a psychic from the same lab that created 001 and Eleven, hidden away since infancy and believed dead for years.
As strange events begin tearing through Hawkins, her carefully controlled world starts to fracture. Monsters surface, the lab resurfaces, and the people around her - friends, classmates, rivals - become dangerously attached to her in ways that grow deeper and more unhinged with every passing season. While she plays the role of the perfect 80s girl, she secretly holds the power to bend reality, protect her little sister Eloise, and decide the fate of a town that has unknowingly built its life around her.
Caught between pastel dreams and cosmic horror, love and obsession, family and secrets, she must survive the darkness without ever letting the world know what she truly is - the strongest experiment the lab ever created, and the heart of Hawkins' unfolding nightmare.
