Summary
The hope was that Vecna was dead, because a portal to Hell splitting Hawkins down the middle was a kinder reality than the one they lived in. Max had woken up, after all, so maybe miracles do happen, and whatever took place during Spring Break was the end of it. Luck was never on their side, though.
The anniversary of Will's disappearance looms over them, like a guillotine in the form of a ticking clock. They knew well enough that all it takes is one night for everything to go wrong. The crawl goes off-script, Hopper is M.I.A., and the Wheeler's house is in ruin.
Maybe what they need is a return to form; maybe Will needs to go back there, to the Upside Down, himself, to get the answers they're looking for.
Or;
The events of November 1987 are retold through the eyes of The Party, because it should have ended how it started.

Summary
It's summer in Hawkins. It has been a year since the possession, and Will Byers is doing his best to navigate through change. While everyone else seems busy falling in love, he forces a smile, desperately trying to be normal. He tries to keep up with his friends, holding onto the childhood they seem eager to leave behind. He swallows his frustrations, hiding the fear that never really left. His walls crumbling, and as he desperately tries to keep them standing, the Mind Flayer returns.
But despite everything, a boy—confident, athletic, and surprisingly nerdy—suddenly comes into his life. Chance Lawson inadvertently becomes Will’s friend, joining the Party (?), changing the course of his fate. He carries an easy confidence, but beneath it lies a cautious, sympathetic heart that understands Will’s silence. He steps in with a gentle warmth that feels completely new, proving to Will that he doesn't have to carry the weight of the world on his own.
Then, maybe Will’s summer wouldn’t be as awful as it could’ve been.
