What Hawkins Left Behind | Byler

One year after the battle of Hawkins, the world is trying to move on.

Mike Wheeler is away at college, restless, and trying not to think too hard about the mistakes he's made or the people he misses. Will Byers buries himself in art school and unanswered letters, pretending he's finally learning how to let go.

Then Joyce Byers and Jim Hopper announce their wedding, bringing everyone back to Hawkins for the first time since the end.

But Hawkins doesn't feel right anymore.

Lights flicker. Radios crackle with static. Strange headaches leave Will collapsing without explanation. And while Dustin secretly chases impossible leads across the country, Mike finds himself questioning things he thought he understood about grief, love, and himself.

Some things survived Hawkins.

Even after the monsters died.
