Love Island x Black Mirror

​

The cash prize is all unlucky-in-love Liza Santos needs to join the show in hopes of buying her and her teenage sister a new life. She just needs to win a challenge to earn the show’s “love drug”, Solution Aphrodite, and take it with her self-proclaimed perfect match, Zaid. One sip and she’ll finally have it all. For once.

​

The hangover from the Solution is a doozy, but with fights erupting, contestants disappearing and returning changed, and even armed soldiers spotted in the jungle of their secluded, tropical paradise, it’s clear that everything is not as it seems. Liza’s not the only one noticing. Micah Van Holt, the show’s rich-and-vapid playboy, is worried too. But worried enough to act? Or will he just call Stepdaddy to helicopter him out and leave the others to fend for themselves? Now, winning isn’t enough for Liza, she needs to survive long enough to escape the Island and make it back to the one place she thought she’d never return: home.

​

APHRODITE will appeal to fans of John Marrs’ The One for the exploration of love and technology, and Kiersten White’s Hide for the impending doom of a mysterious reality competition.
