Summary
(n.) the warmth of the sun in winter.
After Uncle Bennie’s death, you’re uprooted from the beaches of Santa Monica and dropped into Hawkins, Indiana, a town still recovering from the events 9 months prior, where your father inherits Bennie’s diner, your mom gets reassigned to Hawkins and your senior year quietly unravels. With California clothes, tanned skin, and a brand-new Mercedes, you stick out in a town that never lets anyone forget they’re different.
You try to make Hawkins work, earning a spot on the Varsity cheer team, waiting tables at the newly renovated diner, and building a fragile sense of normal with new friends and your neighbor Steve Harrington and his girlfriend/new best friend Nancy Wheeler.
But then another family moves to town.
They’re from California too.
Their eldest son, a boy you meet one rainy afternoon at the diner, isn’t the same person you face when school starts. And he knows you see it. You slowly find out that in a town built on secrets, that kind of recognition is dangerous, and he has no intention of letting you out of his sight.
