Story Context for Season 5
Set during the fall of 1987, Hawkins remains marked by the chaos unleashed from the opening of the Rifts. The protagonists share a unified mission: to track down and kill Vecna. However, Vecna has disappeared, with his location and intentions unknown.
Adding difficulty to their quest, the government has imposed a military quarantine over Hawkins and escalated its pursuit of Eleven, forcing her to hide once again.
