Frieda is a primatologist, sensitive and solitary, until a violent attack shatters her ordered world. In her new role as a zookeeper, she confronts a very different ward: an injured wild tiger. Learning of her tiger's past offers Frieda the chance of freedom. Faced with the savage forces of nature, she must trust her instinct and, like the tiger, find a way to live in the world. A startling exploration of how human and animal territories collide.
