Two years before the events of Stranger Things: Season 4, Eddie Munson-Hellfire Club leader, metalhead, and Hawkins outcast-has one shot to make it big.
Hawkins, Indiana: For most, it´s simply another idyllic, manicured all-American town. But for Eddie Munson, it´s like living in a perpetual Tomb of Horrors. Luckily, he has only a few more months to survive at Hawkins High. And what is senior year, really, but killing time between Dungeons & Dragons sessions with the Hellfire Club and gigs with his band, Corroded Coffin?
At the worst dive bar in town, Eddie meets Paige, someone who has pulled off a freaking miracle. She escaped Hawkins and built a wickedly cool life for herself working for a record producer in Los Angeles. Not only is she the definition of a badass-with killer taste in music-but she might also be the only person who actually appreciates Eddie as the bard he is instead of as the devil incarnate. But the best thing? She´s offering him a chance to make something of himself, and all he needs to do is get her a demo tape of Corroded Coffin´s best songs.
Just one problem: Recording costs money. Money Eddie doesn´t have. But he´s willing to do whatever it takes, even if that means relying on his dad. Al Munson has just stumbled back into Eddie´s life with another dubious scheme up his sleeve, and yet Eddie knows this is his only option to make enough dough in enough time. It´s a risk, but if it pays off he will finally have a one-way ticket out of Hawkins.
Eddie can feel it: 1984 is going to be his year.
