Summary
Max lost her best friend, El. After the dust had settled, she learned she lost her home too. Her mom had left her, leaving her all alone. Until Joyce and Hopper took her in, welcoming her into her home.
Max may have lost El. But she found a new best friend in Will Byers. He understood her better than most. He didn’t judge her. More importantly, he was the only one close to her that she could gossip about cute guys with. Max needed that normality again. She needed to feel normal. So did Will.
When Max learns that a certain jock is now showing an interest in her new best friend, she plots. Nothing is going to get in the way of her boy’s love life. Especially not Mike Wheeler, the same boy who had already rejected Will once before. At least, that was the plan.

Summary
Set almost a decade after their graduation, the Party has went into their different paths wherein they became renowned and famous in their respective fields.
Lucas became a Professional Basketball Player, Max is a songwriter/singer, Mike is a novelist/writer, Will is a painter, and Dustin is a scientist/researcher.
However, despite their obvious success, the scars from their teenage years are yet to heal. The Upside Down still haunts them in their choices and lives. With some of them like Max, resorted to few vices for coping mechanisms like the alcohol and smoking.
