A LUMAX STORY
Hawkins, Indiana was a normal happy town. Everyone who lived there loved it and never wanted to leave until mysterious murders began to happen. The murderers kept happening and not many people could afford to leave the town. The friend group, (Lucas, Max, El, Dustin, Will, and Mike) had thought there had been a murderer in the town from the beginning. The students were counting the days til' winter break. The kids were going to try and forget everything happening in their town for the three weeks they had off of school since they had been investigating. Eleven and Mike were planning on spending every day with each other, while Dustin and Will were going to visit Dustin's girlfriend in California. That left Lucas and Max to hang out with only each other over break. Lucas and Max aren't the closest in the group, so they're curious to see how this will go.

Months after the gate was closed, El went missing again, taken back to the supposedly shut down lab where an experiment is done on her. But it backfires and she becomes vulnerable to The Mind Flayer as it possesses her.
A few months later, Mike starts to hear his girlfriend's voice in his dreams, begging for him to save her. They manage to save El from a terrifying place; though when she comes back home, she isn't the same and she refuses to tell anyone what actually happened in the lab.
A threat has entered Hawkins once again. This time, it has control of El, and it refuses to leave her and Hawkins without a fight.
