Hawkins is a small midwestern town located in Roane County in the US state of Indiana, positioned about 80 miles outside of Indianapolis. It has an estimated population of 10,000 to 15,000. Hawkins is a largely quiet and uneventful town with the last major incident being a triple homicide in 1959.
The greatest point of interest was the secretive Hawkins National Laboratory, one of several national laboratories which grew out of the scientific endeavors of the Second World War. Unbeknownst to the residents of the town, the lab hosted experiments for the controversial government program known as "MKUltra".
These experiments yielded the births of a number of children with inherited psychokinetic abilities, who were in turn abducted and experimented on. These child test subjects were strictly confined to the lab's premises, their existence kept top secret by the authorities.

In Hawkins, the monsters aren't just from the Upside Down. Some wear human skin. Behind the mask, his wrath simmers, waiting for the right moment to erupt. He is the shadow that slips through the cracks of Hawkins, the devil who tempts fate, who dares the world to push him too far. In the war between light and darkness, he stands stands at the edge, crown of thorns on his head, daring anyone to decide whether he is the savior this town needs - or the demon it deserves.
