Shadow and Starlight

Synopsis

For sixteen-year-old Maya, life is a carefully constructed facade. By day, she's an easy-going high school student, a loyal best friend to the ever-optimistic Liam. By night, she is Nyx, a ruthless supervillain wielding powers of light and shadow, driven by a deep-seated need for revenge against a hero society that wronged her family. Raised in the shadows by the very people her family fought against, Maya is a master of illusion and a force to be reckoned with, her heart hardened by betrayal and loss. She hides her true self behind a bright smile, never letting anyone, not even Liam, glimpse the darkness within. Liam, on the other hand, lives a life of sunlight and adoration. As the celebrated superhero 'Apex,' his telekinetic abilities and undeniable charisma have earned him a devoted fanbase. He's everything a hero should be – strong, just, and popular. But Liam harbors a secret: his best friend Maya, the one person he confides in, knows nothing about his dual life. Their paths, both in civilian and super-powered forms, have begun to collide with alarming frequency. As Nyx and Apex, they've developed a bitter rivalry, their cutting banter masking an undeniable, infuriating attraction. They are each other's greatest adversary in the field, yet their bond as Maya and Liam grows stronger, pulling them towards a love they never anticipated. But when their secret identities are on a collision course, and the truth threatens to shatter everything, they'll be forced to confront the devastating consequences of their lies and decide if their burgeoning love is worth fighting for, even if it means sacrificing everything they've ever known.
