β¦ Synopsis
Fifteen-year-old Maya Stark seems to have it allβfame, fortune, a Beverly Hills lifestyle, and an eighties pop star dad whoβs making a comeback. But looks can be deceiving, and on the inside, Maya is miserable. Her parents are divorced, her dad is away on tour, and being biracial, she struggles with her identity. Then, to make matters worse, her mother has returned to using drugs and is quickly depleting their finances. In a plan to become emancipated from her messed-up mom, Maya takes a job on Rodeo Drive. Selling designer clothes compromises Mayaβs earth-friendly βgreen girlβ values, but she is desperate.
Just when Maya thinks sheβs got it all worked out, her life caves in. Her mom βembezzlesβ Mayaβs savings and is later arrested on DUI and cocaine possession charges and is facing jail time. With nowhere to live, Maya is sent to spend the summer with her relatives. In the collision of two very different worlds, Maya must figure out where she fits inβor does she fit in at all?
