When a young boy is savagely and brutally murdered, all evidence points to local Terry Maitland (Jason Bateman) except for one unsettling fact: Terry Maitland was hundreds of miles away when it happened. As Detective Ralph Anderson (Ben Mendelsohn) pursues the case, he is left with more questions than answers and the dawning realization that an evil, supernatural force is at play.

Based on the novel The Outsider by bestselling author Stephen King
