Set in contemporary Athens, Maya and Samar tells the story of two young women from conflicting cultures whose brief yet torrid affair endangers the life of one, while propelling the other to instant online fame.

A student named Nivedita finds an old photo of her professor and discovers the latter had been living a lie. Saraswati, of all people — a woman of color who lectures on cultural identity — is in fact white. While the media and online community whip up a frenzy, Nivedita faces a political and personal dilemma as she tries to find out Saraswati's motive.
