When a young girl is assaulted, the tight-knit community of Banning, Iowa, quickly points fingers, but their star athlete is protected by his popularity, a shield that seems impenetrable. Danny, the farm boy from a family with little influence and a spotted reputation, becomes the easier scapegoat, feeling the full weight of small-town judgment. He must fight to clear himself in the face of betrayal from those he has known all his life. But as the world turns its back on him, he finds an unexpected ally in an unpopular girl who knows the pain of exclusion, the power of lies and betrayal, and dares to stand by him.

The Outcast is a powerful story of love, betrayal, and redemption, where the only solace is doing the right thing.
