A gripping story of man pitted against nature?s most fearsome and efficient predator.
 
Outside a remote village in Russia?s Far East a man-eating tiger is on the prowl. The tiger isn?t just killing people, it?s murdering them, almost as if it has a vendetta. A team of trackers is dispatched to hunt down the tiger before it strikes again. They know the creature is cunning, injured, and starving, making it even more dangerous.
