What is the plot of Volume 2?
Netflix’s official Season 5 synopsis places the story in fall 1987, after the opening of the Rifts has scarred Hawkins. The group is focused on finding and killing Vecna, but his location and plans are unknown. Hawkins is under military quarantine, and the government is hunting Eleven, forcing her into hiding. As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, the group prepares for a final battle.
