When Pi Patel turns sixteen, his parents decide to move the family and their zoo from Pondicherry, India to North America.  Both humans and animals board the Japanese freighter Tsimtsum and set out for their new home.  Disaster strikes when a storm sinks the vessel.  Pi escapes in a small life boat along with a zebra, an orangutan, and a spotted hyena.  After the hyena kills the zebra and the orangutan, Pi discovers that Richard Parker, a hunger tiger, is hidden beneath tarpaulin.  Frightened, Pi builds himself a raft out of flotation devices which he tethers to the boat's stern.  What happens next?
