Compound

By Monica Mingo

Compound follows five strangers as they are each given a deed to a luxury beach home, a title to a new car and a cashier's check for one million dollars with promises of more to come. Golden hasn't had the best life, yet is as loving and trusting as a puppy. She's unemployed and tanking financially while waiting for her fianc? to return and help save her family home from foreclosure, marry her and start a family. When she's contacted by the lawyer representing an anonymous benefactor, she attributes the windfall to the grace of God. When the lawyer also informs her that her fianc? is living with another woman and has a baby on the way, the blow knocks her sideways.Golden warms up slowly to her neighbors at The Pointe, the luxury beach community where her new vacation home is located. They start working out together, sharing intimate secrets, having regular dinners and forming close bonds that celebrate each other and their differences. The enjoyment of their beach summer is rocked by one explosive, climactic event leaving someone dead, many confused and all conflicted once they discover the reason they have been brought together. We've all been hurt a multitude of times and most things too good to be true generally are, but what if they are given in secret to right past wrongs? What if the worst of your life was evaluated and payment was made to soften all those blows? But payment from whom? For what ills? And what consequences does accepting payment bring?
