It's the nineteenth century on the Gulf Coast of Texas, a time of opportunity and lawlessness. After escaping the brothel where she's been a virtual prisoner, Lucinda Carter heads for Middle Bayou to meet her lover - a man as charismatic as he is ruthless - who has a plan to make them both rich, chasing age-old rumours of buried treasure. Meanwhile, Nate Cannon, a newly sworn-in Texas policeman with a pure heart and a strong sense of justice, has joined two veteran hunters on the trail of the notorious William McGill, a killer who has dispassionately claimed the lives of men, women and children across the frontier. Who - if anyone - will survive when their paths finally cross? THE OUTCASTS is a richly compelling epic about a group of men who have made a living out of violence, and of a woman who will stop at nothing to make a new life for herself.
