"The book is set in the Melbourne suburb of Richmond where Jandy and her siblings are afraid of the dark and unnerved by their father’s absence after a family break-up. Jandy’s bedtime stories have bred the imagined terror of a Tasmanian Tiger lurking in the hallway. Despite all attempts to hold the illusion at bay, the terror remains until Jandy confronts the fears she has created."

"Jandy attempts to disprove her brothers' and sister's fears that a Tasmanian tiger prowls up and down the hallway at 9 o'clock each evening."
