Meanwhile, frustrated by the cops’ lack of progress, Will’s band of loyal pals, Mike, Lucas and Dustin begin a search of their own. Department of Energy with more than a touch of The Mist’s Project Arrowhead about it. Hopper, the grizzled town Chief of Police, channels his best Harrison Ford and organises the locals into search parties for the missing boy, eventually leading him to the imposing gates of the secretive Hawkins National Laboratory, a shadowy subsidiary of the U.S.
Whilst cycling home late on November 6th after a particularly intense game of Dungeons & Dragons (you know you’ve truly earned the mantle of ‘geek’ if you can read that line without a shred of irony), Will is mysteriously abducted, kickstarting a series of manhunts that lead the characters down some pretty twisted rabbit holes.
