After the death of her father, 20-year-old Araya sees no other option but to go live with her mother in Thailand. Only: she has never been there before.

In Araya, the eponymous main character sets out to find herself in a country that is completely foreign to her, where she doesn't speak the language and has no friends. Until she meets Mariko, who drags her into the underground youth culture of bustling Bangkok. Their friendship soon means the world to Araya, until it suddenly collapses.

Araya is a modern coming-of-age story about (self-)love in a constantly changing world, true friendship, a complex maternal bond and fighting for what you believe in.
