Maya

Will they ever truly be safe?

Maya is a propulsive, cinematic thriller about how far a mother and daughter will go to protect each other and survive​

Two Brothers Pictures for Channel 4

Season 1: 6 x 60'

Leaving their lives in London behind, Anna and her teenage daughter Maya are forced into witness protection and must take on new identities, relocating to a small town in rural Scotland as Anna’s ex-boyfriend is highly dangerous and will go to extreme lengths to hunt them down. As they try to adjust to their new reality, the trauma of their past continues to haunt them and the sinister presence of two hitmen leaves a trail of unease as they search for the missing mother and daughter. As the walls close in on them it becomes clear that the dangerous figure from their past is still a looming threat.

Interwoven throughout with warmth, humour, Maya is an exploration of identity, predatory male behaviour, the unbreakable bond between mother and daughter and the lengths a parent will go to protect their child. With compelling performances and an atmospheric tone, the series promises to be an unmissable psychological thriller.

As Anna and Maya navigate their new world, the question remains: will the system protect them, will they ever truly be safe, or will they have to go to extraordinary lengths to protect themselves?
