In a world where monsters lurk in the shadows and secrets are buried deeper than the tunnels of Hawkins Lab, love was never supposed to be part of the equation.

Lena Thompson, a new girl in Hawkins with a mysterious past, transfers to Hawkins High and finds herself drawn to the quiet, brooding Will Byers, who’s still haunted by his time in the Upside Down. While most people avoid Will, Lena sees something familiar in his eyes—something broken... and beautiful.

But Lena isn’t just an ordinary girl. She has a connection to the Upside Down that no one knows. As her powers awaken, and the shadows begin to stir again, Will and Lena must confront their past traumas, government agents, and creatures that whisper their names in the dark.

Between falling in love and falling into the abyss, only one thing is certain: the greatest danger may not be from the other side—it may come from within their own hearts.
