Steve Harrington is stuck in a shallow cycle of flirting, short-lived flings, and quick breakups while working at Family Video — until a girl he vaguely remembers from school walks in.
A funny little flyer taped to a streetlamp lured you into a strange venue, and now you’re standing in this questionable place among a tiny cluster of people — and, somehow, the music is oddly mesmerizing.
Steve might have left high school romances in the past, but they weren’t about to let him go. And now, you — the new school counselor at Hawkins High — found yourself squarely in the center of his attention.
A summer road trip, an old car, and endless highways leading to sunny California. Somewhere between gas-station stops, shared playlists, and stolen glances, you and Steve turn the journey itself into the most romantic part of the destination.
