The story revolves around a 12-year-old named Rob who finds a caged tiger in the center of the woods near his home.

Not long thereafter, he befriends a girl who shows her feelings as much as he hides his own. As they learn to trust each other, they prove that some things – like memories, heartaches and tigers – can’t be locked up forever.

“So excited for this,” Katharine wrote on her Instagram story.
