Four years have crawled by since Eddie Munson left Hawkins High. These days, he’s the mechanic at the garage on Main Street, the job that keeps the rent paid and his uncle Wayne quiet. You, on the other hand, took the predictable route — a volatile marriage and a soul-crushing desk job at the local paper. Another week of office snipes and home-front tension has left you hollow. When your car refuses to start in the driveway, it feels like the final insult. You slump forward, resting your head against the steering wheel, before your gaze drifts across the street to the lit bay of the repair shop. With a tired sigh, you get out and start walking toward the open garage door, where the sound of a radio playing heavy metal drifts out into the evening.
