Hawkins, Indiana seems like the classic, boring American Midwest town of the 1980s: quiet streets, perfect suburban homes, and neighbors who know everything. However, beneath this facade of normalcy and apple pies, the town hides a government laboratory with dark secrets and a rift to a nightmare dimension. At the heart of this duality is Hawkins Middle School (and later, the High School). For the kids, school is the center of their daily universe. Between hallways flanked by metal lockers, the noisy cafeteria, and Mr. Clarke's audiovisual club, school life balances between the ordinary and the extraordinary. It’s a place where the drama of dealing with school bullies and fitting into the 80s social pyramid mixes, almost naturally, with deciphering Russian codes or planning the next mission in the basement to save the town from demogorgons.
