The drama series begins in a small city named ‘Hawkins’.
We see the scene of November,1983.
There, in the main lab of Hawkins, a scientist was terrifyingly running.
As he enters the lift, suddenly, something pulls him up and takes him away.
In the next scene, we watch four friends who’re the main characters of the story.
This includes Mike, Will, Dustin, and another friend.
They all were playing a boat game at Mike’s house.
Meanwhile, Mike’s mom after arriving there, asks them to stop the game.
That’s why after ending their games they all left for their houses.
Before going, Dustin meets Mike’s elder sister.
Her name is Nancy, she doesn’t talk to him and ignores him.
It was night and they were returning home.
It was quite dark and Will was going home on his bicycle.
Meanwhile, on the way, he suddenly witnesses the black shadow of something.
After watching this, Will becomes quite afraid and confused.
He quickly departs from there by taking his bicycle as a result.
Because of his haste, his cycle falls out of balance, and, as a result, he falls down.
Will, after leaving his cycle there, to save his life,
He runs from there and hides somewhere nearby.
That was actually a house and he takes a gun from there.
Scarily, he points that gun at the door.
Suddenly, Will also disappeared from there.
The next morning, we see Will’s mom and his brother.
The name of Will’s mom is Joyce.
While conversing, both of them come to know,
That Will hasn’t returned home from last night.
They didn’t know about Will last night because,
Actually, both of them have night shift duty.
Will’s mom, Joyce directly calls Mike’s house.
She asks about Will from there.
Did Will stay at your house last night?
Mike’s mom replied, no! Will had gone from there last night.
Hearing this, Joyce becomes quite concerned.
Along with this, she rebukes her son, Will’s brother a lot.
Why did you work the night shift without informing?
The brother of Will relaxes his mom, don’t worry, He will be found soon.
Joyce directly goes to the police station and she reports Will’s missing.
Hopper was the name of this place’s chief officer.
He was a good friend of Joyce, that’s why.
He makes Joyce understand not to be worried that much.
Will might have gone to his relative’s house.
Or at his father’s house, because Hawkins is a small city.
Here, hardly any crime is being committed.
Despite this, he starts to find Will on the instruction of Joyce.
The next day, we see three friends of Will at school.
They were considering that Will might have come to school.
In the next scene, we see Nancy with her friend.
They were talking about the most mature boy in the college, Steve.
On the other side, in Hawkins’s lab, the main director enters,
His name is Dr. Brenner because of the disappearance of that scientist,
He begins to have observation after coming there.
Here, he was talking about something,
That has emerged from a strange door.
The eastern portion of the lab was sealed, after being spared for an hour.
So, the creature couldn’t go out from there.
Dr. Brenner asks about a girl.
She after taking an advantage of the situation, has fled from the lab.
Later, the girl goes to a hotel and, she was quite hungry.
That’s why the owner of the hotel feeds her.
The girl seems mysterious and strange by her looks.
After being asked by the owner, the girl tells her name.
She says that my name is Eleven.
The owner didn’t understand anything that,
Can anyone name Eleven, that’s why the owner asks her,
Who are you, and from where did you come?
Eleven didn’t answer anything.
After seeing her, it seems as if she couldn’t talk.
Only she can probably speak a few words.
Later, the owner after calling the police tells them about Eleven.
So, they could send her home safely.
Meanwhile, we see Eleven has turned off a table fan there with her eyes.
After witnessing this, we can understand that Eleven has superpowers.
The next day, Hopper after coming at school,
He tells Will’s friends’ that your friend is missing for the last night.
That’s why Hopper asks about Will from them.
On the other side, the team of Hawkins lab reaches the same hotel, to find Eleven.
Actually, the police have informed them about the current location of Eleven.
That she is present in the hotel, that’s why the people of the lab have reached there.
But, Eleven becomes successful in fleeing from there.
Later, they kill the owner of the hotel.
On the other side, Hopper with his team was finding Will.
There, he finds Will’s bicycle.
On the other side, Joyce was also talking with her husband.
We learn throughout this that Joyce’s home phone is being tracked.
At night, a search team is sent to find Will.
Three of the Will’s friends also goes to find Will secretly.
Suddenly, Eleven comes in front of them.
The shocking this was that Joyce has a call that night,
But nothing was audible on call.
In these strange sounds, Joyce begins to hear Will’s sounds.
She understands that her son, Will has called her.
Before she can talk to her son, Will.
Her phone was damaged after being disabled due to an electrical problem.
As it became late night, that’s why Mike takes Eleven at his house.
Later, he hides Eleven in his room.
Eleven tells him with the indication that I’m fleeing from evil people.
During this conversation, Mike and Eleven develop a friendship.
Mike and his friends come to know about the superpowers of Eleven.
Later, Eleven recognizes Will after seeing a picture hung on the wall.
After seeing the picture of Will, she only indicates and couldn’t speak much.
Mike understands that she probably knows and can tell,
That where Will is actually?
She reveals that Will after hiding from a monster is sitting somewhere.
On the other side, Joyce was telling Hopper about that call, Will’s call.
Because of that, her phone was damaged.
She tells Hopper that an animal’s sound was heard on the call.
In those sounds, I heard the breathing sounds of Will.
Hopper doesn’t believe her and thinks that it might be her doubt.
That’s why after ignoring her, he goes to Will’s father’s home to find Will.
After going, he comes to know that Will hasn’t come there.
He begins to suspect if any incident occurred with him.
It means Will might be in danger.
In the Hawkins lab, Dr. Brenner and his team are listening to recorded calls of Joyce.
It was obvious that this lab and this team were somehow involved in the disappearance of Will.
In the flashback, we are shown that actually, Dr. Brenner is the father of Eleven.
He was having an experiment on Eleven for a long time.
He was having a test on her.
At night, Nancy goes to Steve’s house with her friend, for a party.
Nancy’s friend disappeared from there, like that scientist.
On the other side, Will’s brother goes in the forest to find Will.
He begins to capture pictures of different places.
During this all, he begins to capture pictures of Nancy and the party.
On that night, Joyce once again receives the call of Will.
This time, in a fragile sound, Will says “mom” only.
The phone again becomes disabled after being damaged.
Later, strange events begin to happen in the house.
Just like, the lights begin to turn on and off, and many similar incidents.
In Will’s room, Will’s and his brother’s favorite song begins to play.
After seeing the situation, It appears that Will is trying to notify his mother of his presence.
Meanwhile, something tries to emerge from the wall.
Just like a monster, but it doesn’t have any face.
It was quite scary that Joyce becomes afraid to see that.
She comes out of the house and sits in the car after coming there.
After some time, when she enters home again.
After seeing the wall, it seems like nothing has happened here.
Watching this, Joyce understands that surely something weird has happened with Will.
And he is trying to talk with his mom, Joyce.
That’s why Joyce begins to figure this out by herself.
On the other side, Nancy’s friend after being disappeared comes to a wired place.
Meanwhile, someone attacks her that we can’t see.
Nancy learns about her friend’s disappearance but she keeps it a secret.
On the other hand, Steve discovers all of the party photos in Will’s brother’s camera.
He breaks the camera, and after taking the pictures from him, he tears them.
Later, Nancy when collects the broken pieces of the picture.
After putting the parts back together, she discovers her missing friend’s monster standing behind her.
To figure this out, she comes again to her friend, Steve’s house.
Meanwhile, she sees the same monster comes in front of her,
Which has attacked her friend and the scientist.
She somehow saves her life and flees from there.
On the other side, Joyce tries to contact her son with the help of light.
She also hears answers from Will as well in exchange.
On the other side, Hopper understands during investigation that,
Hawkins’s lab must be involved in some way with Will’s disappearance.
Additionally, he learns that a woman had previously brought a lawsuit against Dr. Brenner.
Because he’d kidnapped her daughter, so he can have an experiment on her brain.
Later, this case was stopped, and not only this,
Additionally, the experiments done in Hawkins’ lab were also passed.
Eleven with her powers, tells Will’s friends that Will is hiding at his own house,
But after some time Will’s dead body finds in a lake.
Mike believes that Eleven has lied to them,
But after some time, Eleven proves that Will is still alive, he’s not died yet.
Because she makes him hear Will’s sound on Mike’s walkie-talkie.
Except for Joyce, everyone has accepted that Will has died.
But Joyce was still trying to contact Will.
Mom and son have a conversation on the call.
Actually, Will was stuck at the same place where Nancy’s friend was taken by the monster.
Will talks about a monster as well, while conversing with his mom, Joyce.
Hearing this, Joyce asks him to stay wherever you’re.
A prayer meeting was held at a school for Will.
After being ready, Eleven was also taken there.
Through the school radio, Eleven overhears Will and Joyce’s conversation on call.
Mike and his friends also confirmed that whatever Eleven has said was true.
That their friend, Will is still alive.
Through the conversation with Eleven, Mike and his friends finally figure this out,
That Will is hidden in his house, but in a different dimension.
The name of this dimension is upside down.
Actually, Upside down is a world like our world but it is a dark world.
Because monsters live there not humans and these monsters are named Demogorgon.
Their world has connected with our world.
Because a gate between both dimensions has opened.
Because of this, a Demogorgon has taken Will into his world, after coming there.
And Will is locked in Upside down world.
On the other side, Nancy tells Will’s brother everything.
This is how I’ve reached a Demogorgon by your captured picture.
Finally, Will’s brother begins to believe his mom, Joyce.
Also, begins to believe in the fact that his brother is yet alive.
For this reason, they go into the jungle, to find Nancy’s friend and Will.
Nancy mistakenly reaches upside down world, but Will’s brother manages to pull her out.
Later, they go to Nancy’s house.
There Steve watches them together and begins to jealous.
On the other side, officer Hopper makes it to Will’s body.
He learns that the dead body, about which we are informed, is not Will’s real body.
This is a fake body and he meets Joyce for this reason,
And tells her about this all,
I believe that Dr. Brenner has surely a link with upside down.
Later, they go at the house of that lady who’d filed a case against Dr. Brenner.
They ask about her daughter and they learn from her,
That Dr. Brenner has kept her in the lab since she’d born.
There he has numerous experiments on her brain.
And informs everyone that she passed away during childbirth.
Her daughter is no one else but Eleven.
Will’s friends take their science teacher to understand upside down more clearly,
Their teacher tells them that it needs a lot of energy to open any dimension.
After doing this, time, space, gravity, and magnetic field will be upset.
Actually, the upside down’s gate was opened with the help of Hawkins’s Lab.
After it opened, Demogorgon became activated.
Hopper also learns this, and he secretly goes into Hawkins’s Lab to find Will.
After passing from Hawkins’ lab and entering an upside-down world, he returns back alive.
On the other side, Mike’s friend figure out the problem in magnetic field.
He also searches out the gate to go into upside down world.
Later, Mike, Dustin, Eleven, and another friend go to find Will.
With the help of Eleven, they reach the place where the upside down’s gate opens.
During the way, Eleven becomes afraid because of something.
And after misleading them from the right path, she distracts them.
Actually, she learns that the way to go in the upside-down world ends in Hawkins’s Lab.
She had spent a risky period of her life, there.
She doesn’t want this to happen to her friends that happened to her.
That’s why she’d mislead their path to save her friends.
We learn from this that only Eleven has unlocked the upside down’s gate.
She didn’t mean to do this, but Dr. Brenner had made her do this by deception.
Mike’s friend believes Eleven, a fraud.
For this reason, Mike and Eleven have a fight.
Mike yells at Eleven and as a result she goes from there angrily.
Angrily, she comes to a store for taking meal.
There, after stealing the meal, in front of the owner,
by using her powers she flees.
On the other side, Mike, Dustin, and his friend understand this,
That Eleven has misled and lied to them to save their life.
That’s why the reunion again.
But the news of the store’s incident has reached to Dr. Brenner.
That’s why he comes with his team to Mike’s house to capture Eleven.
That’s why the children have to run from there.
To survive, they hide in a bus,
After some time, Hopper arrives on that bus and rescues the children.
He directly takes them to Joyce’s home.
Joyce and Hopper after seeing Eleven, understand.
That this girl is the daughter of the lady, who’d filed a case against Dr. Brenner.
With the help of Eleven, they figure out the location of Will in the upside-down world.
On the other side, Joyce and Hopper reach Hawkins’s Lab.
They can then go from there to Upside down and bring Will back.
This time, Hopper was caught.
This time, Hopper makes a deal with Dr. Brenner.
If you let both of us go in upside down, In return, I’ll let you know the address of Eleven.
And the truth of your lab will never be disclosed to anyone.
Dr. Brenner agrees and permits Hopper and Joyce to enter the upside down.
Brenner along with his team, to capture Eleven reaches her school.
The place where the four children were hidden.
On the other side, Nancy and Will’s brother understand,
That Demogorgons are attracted toward the blood.
That’s why they make a plan that they’ll make a trap for Demogorgons,
So, they can come to our house. We’ll kill them as they’re caught in the trap.
On the other side, Joyce and Hopper finally find Will.
A Demogorgon comes into Will’s house after smelling the flesh.
After coming there he attacks Nancy and Will’s brother.
He was going to eat Will’s brother when Steve comes just in time to save him.
The Democorgan falls into that trap during the fight with Steve.
By this, Will’s brother fires him, and the Demogorgon dies there.
On the other side, Hopper and Joyce exit the Upside down after taking Will safely.
Later, Dr. Brenner approaches Eleven.
Meanwhile, we see a Demogorgon arrives at the school.
Taking advantage of the situation, Eleven kills many people there.
After taking her friends from there, she hides in a room.
Here the monster begins to kill the people of Brenner.
The people who’ve opened the gate for this monster.
Even the Demogorgon kills Dr. Brenner.
Demogorgon, while finding the four children reaches into that room.
Because of having no other way to save Mike and her friends.
Eleven by using her superpowers Eleven kills the Demogorgon.
But along with this, she also disappeared from there.
As Joyce and Hopper have rescued Will from the lab.
For this reason, Will has been kept in the hospital for some days.
After some days, he fully recovers.
After some days, we see Will vomiting and a strange insect emerges.
After this, Will has a vision of upside down.
But he keeps it secret and doesn’t tell anyone.
In the next scene, Hopper hides Eleven’s favorite food in a deserted area.
That if Eleven ever returned here, Hopper would learn that Eleven is still alive.
The first season ends with this.
