Now it's up to his three best friends, an illiterate girl with superpowers, his mom, his brother, and his brother's girlfriend to save him and the town they love from an undetermined evil. Only in THIS UNIVERSE...there's a new stranger in Hawkins.
Ruby Bullthorne moved to Hawkins in 1982 from Boston after her mom divorced her abusive father. She moved in next door to her mom's childhood best friend and her son, Dustin. And reluctantly enough, Ruby became his babysitter. Meaning endless weekend nights spent at the Wheeler house, chatting to Nancy, and making sure those idiots made it home alright.

And her life seemed to get STRANGER ever since...
