The Outsider

Synopsis

The peace of Cherokee City, a sleepy town lost somewhere in Georgia, is shaken by a tragic event: the discovery of disfigured body parts belonging to a teenager. In only a day police identifies the main suspect, a coach at the local school. At first sight, everything is simple. The professor was seen by numerous witnesses, blood evidence, fingerprints – they have everything. But the alleged murderer has an airtight alibi – when the murder took place, he was miles away from Cherokee City. Detective Ralph Anderson can scarcely believe all of this as he knows the coach personally. A team of lawyers begins their own investigation, which will lead to shocking revelations. Holly Gibney, a private detective with somewhat supernatural skills, joins the investigation in her search for the truth.

The series is an adaptation of one of Stephen King’s novels, so we can expect an intriguing slot, scary revelations and a touch of mystique.
