Another prequel to the popular Netflix series STRANGER THINGS
Christmas, Hawkins, 1984. All Police Chief Jim Hopper wants is to enjoy a quiet first Christmas with Eleven, but his adopted daughter has other plans. Over his protests, she pulls a cardboard box marked “New York” out of the cellar, and the tough questions begin. Why did Hopper leave Hawkins all those years ago? What is “Vietnam”? And why has he never mentioned New York?
Although he’d rather face a horde of monsters from another world than talk about his past, Hopper knows he can’t deny the truth any longer. And so begins the story of an old case in New York – the last big case before everything changed…
Summer, New York City, 1977. Hopper is starting over after returning from Vietnam. A young daughter, a caring wife, and a new job as an NYPD detective make it easy to slip back into civilian life. But when mysterious federal agents suddenly appear and seize files about a series of brutal, unsolved murders, Hopper takes matters into his own hands, risking everything to discover the truth.
