Moving from place to place, Sam Owens finds herself stuck in Hawkins, Indiana. She cant seem to shake the feeling of not only grief but anger and denial as she spends most of her time fending off Billy Hargrove, all while trying to just go through the rest of life without drawing anyone or anything in. As someone who is already known to be arrogant and a real egomaniac, she decides to give him a chance, she treads lightly while trying to keep a handle on this eccentric and exploited life she begins to lead in this small 'boring' town.
