It is 1985, in Hawkins, Indiana. Jane Ives, better known as Eleven, has nearly a year left to live a free childhood. She is living with her guardian, Jim Hopper, and spending time with Mike Wheeler every chance she gets. One thing that she struggles with is her ego, which she has trouble controlling, and she can release her powers from no where, hurting someone.
Will Byers on the other hand has had some issues as well. Though the shadow monster is out if him, he still feels a type of power inside of him. He finds out it is true, when he cannot only see what is happening in the Upside-Down, he also has another, dangerous power.
But Eleven and Will will discover there are more people like them, each with different, incredible powers. There are some who accept and live in the world, while there are others who wish to control it, and make people fear them. Eleven and Will must choose a side, to choose where to place their powers.
As spring break starts Michael Wheeler goes to California to spend time with his ex girlfriend, who was now his girl best friend, Eleven, or now known around as Jane; and William Byers, more commonly known as Will. Almost as soon as they meet up once more, Mike quickly realizes how much Will and him have drifted, and how much closer Will is to a new boy, Ezra.
