Her mom Camila's boyfriend, Diego, is an abuser who takes advantage of Camila, stealing her money and landing her in the hospital. When Maya is followed on social media by a seemingly nice guy named Ray, she begins to chat with him about her chaotic life. Ray and Maya start meeting up in person, and he quickly becomes her confidant and eventually encourages Maya to run away with him. Maya slowly begins to realize he has another agenda when he starts using her to make money and starts being set up for appointments with his "clients", being brought along to various hotels and motels with his other girl Kayla. Meanwhile, her mother Camila, falls into despair after losing her daughter and overdoses. She agrees to get sober in order to get her daughter back. However, the trauma that Maya has been through does not make her return as easy as Camila had hoped. Ray is determined not to lose his money-making asset while Camila is intent on not losing her daughter ever again. Can Camila help Maya get back on her feet, or will Maya be forever lost to the dark world she has fallen prey to?
