Like most small towns, Hawkins is quiet and uneventful. Like most movies about small towns, the peace is a cover-up for a huge secret. The people who live there claim it to be Hell on Earth, and really, they're not too far off. Every year, someone from Hawkins dies in a freak accident. Nancy Wheeler, along with the rest of the town, thinks it has something to do with the curse that befell the land in the 1600s. Nancy is the only one who cares enough to prove it. With an old spellbook and a stubborn personality, Nancy plans to take down the curse herself. At Chrissy Cunningham's party, she finds herself three unlikely allies: her ex-boyfriend Steve, Robin from the marching band, and Hawkins' resident freak, Eddie. Four unconventional teenagers don't seem like an ancient curse's worst nightmare, but times change. ! descriptions of gore, swearing ! also published on ao3 *all characters and places are property of Netflix and Stranger Things*
