A claustrophobic survival thriller that traps a young woman and her autistic brother with a predatory tiger during a hurricane, balancing intimate family bonds against relentless animal-attack horror.

After her lousy stepfather steals her savings to buy a vicious tiger, Kelly loses all hope of going to college. But Kelly's situation worsens when a hurricane leaves her and her autistic brother boarded up in their house with the man-eating beast. This edge-of-your-seat thriller follows the gutsy heroine and her younger sibling as they struggle to outwit the ravenous predator and find a way to survive.
