If you play by the rules of the game, you'll be safe... It's 1980s Queensland and in the wake of childhood trauma, suburban dad, Robert Carson is doing just that. But history has a habit of repeating itself, and when Johnny comes back into his life, he secretly steps outside the rules. Then Johnny disappears, and Robert's façade cracks, then crumbles in heart-breaking circumstances. He's certain the police are involved and covertly sets out to bring them to justice. But justice is a rare and costly commodity in this era and he's forced to play a game where it seems that even if he wins, he loses.He can't change the rules. Can he change the game? Inspired by real events and drawing on historical facts leading up to the broadcasting of The Moonlight State (1987), which ended an audacious era of political and police corruption, The Outing combines the poignant and emotional elements of Douglas Stuart's Shuggie Bain and Craig Silvey's Honeybee with secrets and suspense, culminating in courtroom drama. Robert's own fight for a seemingly unwinnable freedom will prelude hope justice and freedom for many others. When nowhere is safe in the world you know, you can hide... or start making a new one.
