Maya is a young black girl from Africa who lived with her parents in a rented apartment in Lagos, Nigeria. She is beautiful and always had boys chasing after her. She loves to party, dance and hang out with friends but unfortunately her father never allowed it. She never had the freedom to explore and meet new people. All she did was cook, clean, go to school and help her mother in the store. This got her very bored and she decided to move out so she could be free to live the life she wanted. Eventually, she saw it all too soon and this led to her encounter with grace.
