In December 1997, a huge tiger roamed around a remote village in Přímorim in the Russian Far East. The local people, for whom the taiga is often the only source of livelihood, respect the tigers and know how to get along with these intelligent, unpredictable rulers of the taiga. But this tiger was more dangerous than the others - circumstances forced him to kill and eat people.

The protectors of this almost extinct species, who have dedicated their lives to the fearless fight against poachers, suddenly found themselves faced with a question to which they initially found it difficult to find an answer - to kill or not to kill the tiger?

This captivating story about the relationship between man and beast really happened. It takes place against the background of harsh nature and ruthless society. It is thrilling, heroic, frightening and full of deep wisdom - more than any fictional drama.
