Janice, angry and desperate after being committed to a maximum-security nursing home, escapes on the back of her rare white tiger with her boyfriend Robert reluctantly in tow, leading her equally desperate son Jake, and his maybe-boyfriend (neither are quite sure), undercover cop Will, on a madcap chase across New York City.

Janice, angry and desperate after being committed to a maximum-security nursing home, escapes on the back of her rare white tiger with her boyfriend Robert reluctantly in tow, leading her equally desperate son Jake, and his maybe-boyfriend (neither are quite sure), undercover cop Will, on a madcap chase across New York City. Her joy ride soon stalls out and she finds herself trapped in her own personal hell, Queens, with Stacey, a young Yemeni-American musician, as her only solace. As all five New Yorkers (and one tiger) end up on a collision course with each other, they’re forced to confront their own personal truths about loneliness, regret, white privilege, and what it means to connect with another person.
