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.

“California, huh?” She says shortly as she pops a cigarette between her lips, fishes her lighter out of her pocket and quickly lights it.
“Born and raised,” he smirks, crossing his arms over his chest and leaning back against the hood of his car.
“Me too,” she says and exhales a cloud of smoke between them.
Or: What happens when Billy Hargrove arrives in Hawkins and finds love in a messed up California girl?
