"The Outliers" centers around a teen named Wylie whose her best friend goes missing. She finds Cassie in a remote spot in the woods with a group called the Outliers, who claim to be able to harness 'intuition' and turn it into a powerful psychological weapon called EQ Transference. Wylie joins the Outliers, but, within days, she finds herself running for her life.

Wylie doesn't know it, but she has the potential to become the most powerful Reader of all. There are many who would go to great lengths to destroy her, and she can't trust anyone - least of all, the Outliers.
