The Compound by Aisling Rawle is a dark satirical thriller set on a remote desert reality TV show where bored twenty-something Lily wakes up in a decaying luxury compound with nine other young women, awaiting ten men who must trek through the wilderness to join them. Under constant surveillance, contestants complete group tasks for survival essentials like food and water, and personal challenges for luxuries like champagne or lipstick, all while forming romantic pairings to secure beds and avoid banishment to the harsh desert. As resources dwindle, alliances fracture into betrayals, factions form, and civility erodes into moral compromises driven by scarcity and ambition, Lily navigates scheming, fleeting connections, and her own growing doubts about whether winning justifies the psychological toll, without revealing the brutal endgame or her final choices.
