Darkness returns to Hawkins just in time for spring break, igniting fresh terror, disturbing memories — and an ominous new threat.

The story is picked up six months after the battle at the Starcourt Mall, which brought terror and destruction to Hawkins. Fighting the aftermath, our group of friends is separated for the first time and has to face the complexities of high school, which does not make things easy for them. Right now, the most vulnerable of all, a terrifying new supernatural threat emerges that represents a new and horrible mystery that, if they manage to solve, could end the horrors of the Upside Down.

Follows the heroic efforts of the crypto-zoological agency Monarch as its members face off against a battery of god-sized monsters, including the mighty Godzilla, who collides with Mothra, Rodan, and his ultimate nemesis, the three-headed King Ghidorah. When these ancient super-species, thought to be mere myths, rise again, they all vie for supremacy, leaving humanity's very existence hanging in the balance.

Budding romance. A brand-new mall. And rabid rats running toward danger. It's the summer of 1985 in Hawkins ... and one summer can change everything.

It's been nearly a year since Will's strange disappearance. But life's hardly back to normal in Hawkins. Not even close.
