Chapter One

The year was 1984.
Sloane Collins was the daughter of a drug addict bar owner. She flew under the radar of the town except to the patrons of that bar and the bands who played there. The Hideout was her hideout from the rest of the world. At the beginning of the summer she reunites with an old schoolmate, Eddie Munson.
Come fall and Eddie has to go back to high school which leaves Sloane with a decision after her summer fling. She has decisions to make and so does Eddie.
But then November hits and a young boy in town goes missing. Will Byers' disappearance sets the whole town on edge. But what if he wasn't the only one who was taken to The Upside Down?
