Summary:
A series of premonitory dreams and visions forebodes the coming of something evil. Eddie knows it’s up to him to try and stop whatever that is. Even if it means putting his life on the line, or face a past he thought he left behind. Dark forces are calling him back home.
People missing, a shady cult, and ritual killings await him in Hawkins, Louisiana. His role in all that might be bigger than he thought, and maybe, this time, he can’t work alone. When the case seems to keep bringing together Eddie, and the newly-arrived local priest and exorcist Steve, he accepts their unlikely collaboration. Surely, they will keep it strictly business, right?
