Close-Knit

The Party is a close-knit group formed by the four boys Mike Wheeler, Will Byers, Lucas Sinclair and Dustin Henderson, which now includes Eleven and Max Mayfield. Originally, the four boys shared a common interest in science and playing D&D. After the disappearance of Will Byers in 1983, the Party eventually became instrumental in stopping the odd phenomena of their home town, recruiting additional members such as Steve Harrington, Nancy Wheeler, and Jonathan Byers to help them out.
