Would you make a deal with a magical tiger? This uplifting story brings Korean folklore to life as a girl goes on a quest to unlock the power of stories and save her grandmother.

When Lily and her family move in with her sick grandmother, a magical tiger straight out of her halmoni's Korean folktales arrives, prompting Lily to unravel a secret family history. Long, long ago, Halmoni stole something from the tigers. Now they want it back. And when one of the tigers approaches Lily with a deal—return what her grandmother stole in exchange for Halmoni's health—Lily is tempted to agree. But deals with tigers are never what they seem! With the help of her sister and her new friend Ricky, Lily must find her voice . . . and the courage to face a tiger.

莉莉是个安静听话的小女孩，她感觉自己不受重视又不被看见，因此经常动用“隐形”的超能力让自己消失，远离麻烦。除了隐形，她还拥有一项超能力——她相信故事里的魔法，相信世界上所有的可能性……
在去往海莫尼家的路上，莉莉一如既往地在妈妈和姐姐的争吵中隐形，直到路中间出现了一只像她们的车子一样大的老虎！她大叫着让妈妈停车，可妈妈和姐姐似乎什么都没有看见，车子径直开了过去——那只老虎消失了。
随后，生活的乌云笼罩了莉莉爱的小家，莉莉决定不再逃跑，她要捕猎凶猛的虎灵，勇敢无畏地守护自己的家人。然而，她的武器竟然是一个个的故事，像星星一样闪耀的故事……
故事不止一种，真正的拯救或许并非是生命的挽留，而当一个人足够坚强，他的心中就可以容纳不止一种真相，一种结局。
