Most people in Hawkins remember the week Will Byers went missing as a time of panic, dark rumors, and government conspiracies. But for the small town, the real chill set in with an unseasonable, biting frost-and the sudden, silent disappearance of Elisabeth Elise Winter. Elise wasn't supposed to be part of the chaos. She was just an ordinary girl who took the wrong shortcut home through Mirkwood on a freezing night. When her bicycle is found abandoned on the side of the road, covered in a strange, thick layer of black ice, a second search party is launched. But while the town searches the woods for a body, Elise fights a completely different battle. Trapped in a frozen, mirrored version of her hometown where the sun never rises, Elise discovers that she isn't entirely alone in the dark. As the temperature drops in the real world, Elise's desperate attempts to send signals back home begin to manifest as terrifying, localized blizzards. With time running out and the creeping cold threatening to consume her entirely, Mike, Dustin, Lucas, and an enigmatic girl named Eleven must piece together the clues left behind in the frost. They soon realize that finding Will Byers is only half the battle-because if they can't bring the missing Winter home, Hawkins will stay frozen forever.
