Hawkins, Indiana - 1983.
The night Will Byers vanished, his little sister Nova woke to the sound of thunder and the faint hum of static whispering through her radio. At five years old, she doesn't understand what's happening - only that her family is falling apart, and the lights in their house seem to know something no one else will believe.
As Joyce clings to hope, Jonathan searches for answers, and the Party dives headfirst into the unknown, Nova watches from the edges - too young to fight, but old enough to see the cracks forming in the world around her. Through drawings, half-heard voices, and the quiet glow of Christmas lights, she begins to piece together a truth that feels like one of Will's stories - except this one isn't make-believe.
And when he finally comes home, Nova is the first to notice: some stars don't shine the same after the dark.
