A true account of the deadliest animal of all time, and the hunter on its trail.

Nepal c. 1900: The single deadliest animal in recorded history began stalking humans, moving like a phantom through the lush foothills of the Himalayas.

As the death toll reached an astonishing 436 lives, a young local hunter was dispatched to stop the now legendary man-eater before it struck again.

At the turn of the twentieth century, as British rule of India tightened, and bounties were placed on tigers' heads, a tigress was shot in the mouth by a poacher. Injured but alive, it turned from its usual hunting habits to easier prey—humans. For the next seven years, this man-made killer terrified locals, growing bolder with every kill. Colonial authorities, desperate for help, finally called upon Jim Corbett, a then unknown railroad employee of humble origins who had grown up hunting game through the hills of Kumaon.
