Outside is the story of Daniel, a teen who triumphs over homophobic bullying, depression and suicide.

 

At his new school he shares his story at a meeting of the Gay Straight Alliance.

 

Meanwhile, at his old school, struggling to come to terms with what happened, his friends Krystina and Jeremy attempt to start their own GSA.

 

Through flashbacks, we travel through Daniel’s harrowing experience with bullying that began with a taunt and a text message and eventually led to a serious physical assault.

 

Three friends, two high schools, one lunch hour.
