Set in the enchanting yet tumultuous landscape of 1920s French Indochina, the story revolves around two young tiger cubs who are tragically separated from one another due to the greed of an unscrupulous explorer named Aidan McRory. McRory, intent on stealing from an ancient temple, disrupts the sanctuary of the cubs, forcing them onto diverging paths.
