About the show: Maya, a college freshman studying vocal performance at UT Austin, is desperate to get rid of the stink inside her mouth. When her breath suddenly turns profoundly rank, no one wants to be around her. Not her friends, not her professors, and certainly not her super cute musician boyfriend. Though she routinely brushes, flosses, and uses mouthwash (and never rinses with water after!), the stink persists, leaving even medical professionals perplexed. Oh, also, her dad just died. And he left Maya’s mom pregnant and contemplating an abortion.
