Lion in the Tent is a tale of friendship, loyalty and loving Michael Jackson. Aamir is a 14-year-old Punjabi Jackson fanatic whose bright red Thriller jacket is both his strength and his vulnerability. He's an outsider at school with just one steadfast friend - Kahal - a loyal, bespectacled ally. Both find themselves bullied for their musical obsession and social inadequacy. When they attempt to confront their tormentor, things don't go their way and Aamir is faced with the impossible choice between his friend's safety and his own. Will Aamir abandon his one friend to halt his own suffering, or can he find a way of protecting his friend and beating his bully once and for all?
