It's always been Tiger and her mother against the world. And sometimes Tiger has been pushing away from her mother's over-protectiveness. Then, on a day like any other, her mother dies-- and now Tiger is alone. To her it feels like it's the brightest day of summer, but it's dark outside; it's dark in the house, in her room, and in her heart. The darkness is going to split Tiger apart-- unless she can learn to make friends with it.
