Directed by Colm McCarthy (The Tudors, Spooks), Outcast is a menacing, intelligent and inventive supernatural horror starring acclaimed actor James Nesbitt (Bloody Sunday, Cold Feet, Jekyll).

Mary (Kate Dickie: Red Road) and her teenage son, Fergal (Niall Bruton), live their lives on the run, hiding from someone or something, terrified of being found. Their hunter Cathal (Nesbitt) is always on their trail. Intent on tracking and killing Mary and Fergal he will go to any length to succeed in his quest, often using dark arts to aid him. Mary's only defence is to use an ancient form of magic of her own to protect her only son.

When people around them begin to be brutally murdered by an unknown life force, their sense of fear escalates. Is Cathal the beast responsible for the killings? Or is it the beast that he is trying to destroy?
