Struggling to accept his father’s untimely death, Arthur Perez retreats into the one thing they shared — running. But when the ghost of his father, Joshua, keeps showing up during Arthur’s morning workouts, Arthur blames himself for his restless return to the realm of the living.

 

Determined to help Joshua find peace, Arthur must follow in his father's footsteps and complete the formidable Tiger Run, a magical path in the mountains of Bhutan, guarded by the clergy of Tiger’s Nest Monastery.

 

Mentored by an adolescent nun and an elderly Tibetan exile, Arthur masters his impulses, pursues three spiritual traits, and proves himself physically and mentally worthy of his task. But no test is as grueling as confronting the truth.
