In a world without monsters or superpowers, Will byers' life has always been quiet, grey, painful ordinary. At sixteen he still keeps a part of himself hidden. His queer identity - afraid of how the world might react.
But everything begins to change when he meets Mike Wheeler. Bright, charming, and seemingly genuine. Mike brings a spark of color back into Wills monochrome world. For the first time, Will feels the possibility of happiness, friendship and maybe even more.
Yet not everything is as it seems. Behind Mike's smile hides a secret: a bet that is supposed to humiliate Will. As their bond deepens, Will must navigate the delicate line between hope and betrayal, trust and heartache, learning that sometimes the brightest colors come with the risk of the deepest wounds.
Falling, trusting and discovering oneself - this is a ‚short' story of first love, secrets and the painful beauty of seeing the world in color for the first time.
