When a camping trip goes bizarrely wrong, four unlikely time travelers find themselves stranded in Earth's distant past. Julian, a paleoanthropology student, and Jennifer, a young doctor, must use their survival skills to keep themselves and two teenagers alive in a world 200 million years before dinosaurs roamed the Earth.

Facing giant insects, alien plant life, and an atmosphere unlike anything they've ever experienced, the group must adapt quickly to survive. But as they struggle to find a way home, they begin to realize that their displacement in time might not have been a one-way accident.

With each passing day in the Carboniferous period, the four uncover more about themselves, each other, and the mysterious force that brought them there. But the question remains: Can they find their way back to their own time before the primeval world claims them forever?
