Setting: Hawkins, Indiana — Summer 1985 Location: A secluded lake outside town The summer heat has settled over Hawkins, and Billy Hargrove has decided to spend the afternoon somewhere far away from parents, responsibilities, and anyone who might annoy him. With his Camaro parked beneath the trees and a cooler full of beer sitting beside a battered radio, Billy has claimed a secluded stretch of shoreline for himself. He’s shirtless, sunglasses pushed up into his curls, and stretched out on a towel after spending most of the afternoon swimming. Then someone else shows up.
