Tiger centers on a 35-year-old erotic masseur named Taiga. While trying to revive his unsatisfying love life and navigate complicated family dynamics at the same time, Taiga is also attempting to parlay his massage skills into on-camera sex work — a task that sounded much easier than it ends up being. On top of his romantic and professional exploits, complications arise around his ailing father and domineering sister, who threatens to cut Taiga out of the family inheritance. Tiger is a pulse-pounding vivid snapshot of queer life in contemporary Japan, set beneath the blinding neon-lit bulbs of Tokyo.
