The Other Hargrove | Steve Harrington

Everyone in Hawkins knows Billy Hargrove-the volatile, leather-jacket-wearing king of Hawkins High with a cruel streak and a pristine Camaro. Everyone knows Max Mayfield-the fiery, skateboarding new girl who refuses to fit in. But nobody notices Elisabeth. Elise is Billy's twin sister, his mirror image, and the quiet shadow holding the fractured Hargrove family together. Bound by a lifetime of shared trauma and a silent pact to survive their abusive father, Elise and Billy are two sides of the same tragic coin. While Billy turns his pain into explosive rage against the world, Elise internalizes hers, acting as a human shield to protect Max and keep the peace. But the suffocating cornfields of Indiana are a far cry from the California coast, and the move to Hawkins is pushing Billy past his breaking point. As Billy slips further into a monster of his own making, Elise finds herself utterly isolated-until a chance encounter pulls her into the orbit of Hawkins' local outcasts. When the town's buried secrets begin to unravel, Elise realizes that a dark, supernatural threat is creeping into Hawkins. A threat that feels the fractures in her twin brother's mind. Trapped between her fierce loyalty to the brother she loves, her desperation to protect Max, and a terrifying new reality, Elise must decide how much of herself she is willing to burn to keep her family from turning upside down.
