In the frost-kissed winter of 1984, a young man named Cyrus Cameron J. Shepard navigates the harsh realities of small-town life in Hawkins, Indiana, where rumors about his sexuality have shattered his once-popular status.
He finds solace in his relationship with Eddie Munson, a loyal and unapologetic boyfriend who works at the local auto shop. Together, they navigate the complexities of their relationship amidst the judgmental eyes of their peers and the lingering scars of past traumas.
Their lives intersect with a group of friends at the bustling Starcourt Mall, where young love and teenage angst collide. They find moments of respite in the dimly lit theater lobby, where the scent of popcorn and the glow of neon lights create a sense of belonging amidst the chaos.
