A tiger terrorizes a Stone Age town. Young boys Dori and Git must leap forward centuries in thought and craft a bow and arrow or they'll be eaten next.
A young graffiti artist named Brandon trades his cans for money from an art project because the only stipulation was him swearing off using spray paint. Robert, his new tutor, struggles to decide whether to risk his career to teach Brandon how to hone his skill or watch the boy's soul wither away like his own.
These two tales mingle across centuries, trading dirt for concrete, but end the same -- with a beast and a bow.
