EXTENDED SUMMARY:
In Hawkins, Indiana, life is supposed to be ordinary. But for the twins 007 & 009, ordinary is a dangerous lie. Taken by Dr. Brenner and trained for the labs "operation" called OCU much known as Operation: Clean Up, they were molded into perfect operatives—capable of teleportation, mind-reading, and deadly precision—but at the cost of their childhoods.
When they escape Hawkins Lab, The twins are forced to live under radar until they found the light and warmth called home, blending into the school and neighborhood they once sought to hide from.
But even as they adjust to a semblance of normal life, their past isn't done with them. Strange occurrences, mysterious disappearances, and whispers of the Upside Down pull them back into a world that never stopped hunting them.
009 finds herself drawn to Will Byers, the quiet boy with a secret of his own, while 007 struggles to keep his powers under control as the pair confront both old enemies and new threats.
As Hawkins begins to unravel, the twins must ask themselves: can they protect the ones they love without revealing the very powers that could save—or destroy—them all?
Secrets will surface. Powers will be tested. And love will grow in the shadows of a small town that is anything but ordinary.
