Maya Patel was, as some would say, special. And she was. She possessed the ability to whip up succulent, spicy Indian dishes in a land where food that tasted bland was appreciated and commended. However, the locals used the term special to describe another quality of hers entirely. Asperger's, or autism, as it is commonly known. No one thought socially awkward Maya Patel would someday make fame with her small scale restaurant - The Indian Café, least of all the nightmare of Maya's high school years, Chris McAdams.
The story of Maya and Chris is unlikely, terrifying and mildly disgusting, but it screams of the simple joys of finding a friend in a foe, and most of all, making dinner for the douchebag.
