In Hawkins, nothing ever stays normal for long.
Steve Harrington is doing his best to move forward-keeping his head down, playing his part, and distancing from everything he doesn't know how to deal with anymore.
Including his girlfriend, Nancy Wheeler.
Including the past.
Including what he's supposed to want.
Then Maya Calloway arrives.
She doesn't fit into anything he already knows. Not the past. Not the present. Not the version of himself he's trying to become.
She talks like she's already won the argument. She looks at him like she's not impressed. And worst of all-she doesn't react the way everyone else does.
At first, she's just another problem in a town that has too many of them.
But Hawkins has a habit of turning "temporary" into something a lot more permanent.
And Steve is starting to realize that the hardest thing in this town isn't surviving what's underneath it.
It's figuring out who you're becoming while you're still standing on it.
