A drug dealer. An addict. A runaway. The story of 3 girls.
On The Outs is a gritty drama about three young girls from the same neighbourhood whose lives intersect briefly in prison, offering a powerful look at a little-seen slice of America. Oz, 17, is a tough drug dealer with her own corner and the street's respect, who struggles to keep her family intact. Suzette, the sheltered 15 year old daughter of a single mother, whose first teenage crush has life changing repercussions, and Marisol, 17, a single mother who fights both her own demons and the uncompromising world of foster care to keep her child.
The film is based on the lives of real girls from the streets and juvenile jail who lent their voices to the filmmakers and exposed shocking truths about the struggle of kids everywhere who live on the fringes of society.
