Summary
(Season 1)
It's 1983 —junior year, and Eddie's life is on a downward tilt from bad to worse. Bullies hate him, teachers don't believe in him, and his support network is limited at best. So when Eleven, a long forgotten figure from his past, resurfaces on the same night multiple kids from the town vanish into thin air, the two team up with the loved ones of those affected to get to the bottom of the dark experiment pumping through the heart of Hawkins.
What Eddie never expected was the road to the truth would lead them back to the steps of his own broken home, even into the very core of himself.
