As Ivy, a level-headed reporter, begins to unravel the tangled web of secrets, the partygoers realize that they have stumbled into a deadly trap. At the center of it all sits an unassuming mother with a mysterious agenda and revenge on her mind. The partygoers must not only fight for the truth, but for their lives.
“I’m grateful to Clay and his team for championing my directorial debut and look forward to sharing OUTRAGE with audiences around the world,” said Bonzon.
