For nearly 7 years, Maya Edwards believed that Frank Bellamy was responsible for the death of her friend, Aubrey West. She witnessed the incident firsthand, but it was later classified as a 'sudden unexplained death' by the medical examiner. Her inability to provide evidence hindered her from explaining how he had managed to do it. Consequently, she was diagnosed with a brief psychotic disorder.
The sight of a video showing a dead girl resurfaced her trauma, surprisingly when she realized the girl was with Frank. Despite the emotional toll, she was determined to return to the place where it all began. Predictable but provides an interesting insight story, mainly about her father's book and Frank's cabin.
In this debut, Maya is portrayed as complicated, flawed, and unlikable. Something was off with her even before all that happened. But I find myself drawn to her behaviour patterns. 4 ⭐️
