   Summary

   Elizabeth Harrington can't shake the feeling that gnaws at her chest. Something is going on in Hawkins, something bigger than people realize. And she thinks her older brother has something to do with it.

   Why else would he avoid her questions, lie to her constantly, and get defensive when she caught him? And why else would he willingly hang out with people her age, when he should be in college himself? Elizabeth knew that it wasn't all a ploy to get his ex-girlfriend back, that ship sailed years ago when she found her brother upset and drunk on the back porch after picking her up from the Snow Ball dance.

   All Elizabeth knows is that she wants answers and she doesn't care what she has to do to get them. She deserves the truth, no matter how ugly it is.
