Maya is portrayed as a sulky young woman living in Manhattan. She starts off by stealing a bottle of liquor from a store and later ends up having a meaningless fling with a guy at a club. It takes a while for us to understand why she’s so downcast: she’s spent the past year caring for her terminally ill mother, who has just passed away, leaving Maya in a state of grief and uncertainty. At the funeral, her older sister Jess quietly remarks, "I can't believe he showed up," referring to their estranged father, Sam. He’s been absent from their lives for years but now seems to want to make things right. To prove it, he offers Maya a well-paying job to help him lure "foreign buyers" for luxury real estate. Although she’s doubtful, she’s also in need of a distraction, so she ends up on a flight to Cairo with him. You can watch this film on Flixtor.
