Laura Maldonado, Joyce Byers' niece, has known monsters exist long before she ever set foot in Hawkins.
For years, she's helped Will cope from afar-late-night phone calls, deciphering his drawings of the Upside Down, and calming him through his moments of panic. Now, reeling from her mother's death, she carries her own invisible ghosts.
When she arrives in Hawkins, she expects danger. What she doesn't expect is Steve Harrington-the former high school heartthrob turned reluctant hero.
Friendship slowly deepens into something more as they face the threats of the Upside Down, the findings of the Russians basement under Starcourt Mall, and the horrors of Vecna.
But in a town where nothing is as it seems, and staying alive may be the hardest thing of all.
