Stranger Things: Dark City

Hawkins, Christmas 1984. All Hopper yearns for is a peaceful first Christmas Eve with Eleven, but his adopted daughter has other plans. She has just rescued a cardboard box from the basement containing what appear to be mementos from another era. And that's when the difficult questions begin: Why did Hopper leave Hawkins so many years ago? What does "Vietnam" mean? And why had he never talked about New York? Although Hopper would rather face a horde of Demogorgons than talk about his past, he knows he can't keep hiding the truth. Thus begins the story of the New York incident, the last big case before everything changed. New York, summer 1977. Hopper starts a new life upon his return from Vietnam. His young daughter, his loving wife, and his job as a police detective make it easy for him to re-enter civilian life. But when federal agents take the unsolved case of a series of brutal murders from him, Jim decides to act on his own and risk everything to uncover the truth. He will soon infiltrate New York's most infamous street gangs. However, when he is about to solve the case, a blackout grips the city and plunges Hopper into the deepest darkness he has ever faced.
