Eleven

In mid-1985, around the time of Back to the Future's box office domination, Mike and Eleven developed a romantic relationship, as did Max and Lucas. The heroes and heroines of previous seasons live lives seemingly normal, although a year after the defeat of the Mind Flayer, things are not at all what they seem in Hawkins, Indiana. The city has a new leader, the morally corrupt Mayor Kline, whose administration supported and presided over the construction of the new Starcourt Mall. As the Fourth of July approaches, strange things begin to happen: Lucas's sister Erica discovers a mysterious new threat, and a lifeguard at the community pool suddenly disappears, sparking fear in those who still have to mind the events of the previous year.
