Maya Dardel

The story of the final weeks leading up to the ambiguous disappearance of Maya Dardel, an internationally respected poet and novelist who lived, until 2016, in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Maya announces on NPR that she intends to end her life and that young male writers may compete to become executors of her estate. The men compete to win and are challenged intellectually, emotionally and erotically. Maya’s end game turns out to be subtler and more complicated than it seems.
