Setting: Hawkins, Indiana โ 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. Heโs 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.
Hawkins is afraid. Eddie Munson is on the run. And something far worse than a murder is hiding in the dark. With the town convinced Eddie is responsible for Chrissy Cunninghamโs death, he takes refuge at Reefer Rickโs boathouse. As his friends race to uncover the truth, your character finds Eddie hiding aloneโand suddenly becomes part of the fight to clear his name, survive Hawkinsโ newest nightmare, and uncover whatโs really hunting the town.
Itโs the Halloween of 1985 and Billy Hargrove, Hawkins most undesirable yet desired bachelor, sets his sights on you. Can you handle this high stakes game of flirting? Or will you become just another body in the sea of people aiming for a chance with Billy.
