About this show
The sky, it seems, would pour down stinking pitch... and for Maya the rain wouldn’t stop coming. Her parents are away, tending to her sibling in hospital, leaving Maya in a house that doesn’t feel like home. Her saving grace is a garage of junk left by the previous owners. With the help of her cat, she fetches stories from across town, bringing them to life. But when the town floods, she is forced to step into the real world and find her place amongst the community. Fringe First winners return.
