The film follows Commander Aila Raige (a descendant of Kitai Raige), played by a rising star, who leads a daring expedition to Earth. The mission is to secure samples of Earth’s rich, bioactive flora that can be used to terraform new planets. Aila is joined by a team of skilled researchers, engineers, and soldiers trained to face Earth’s evolved predators.
Upon landing, the team discovers that Earth has transformed even further. The planet is now home to new, intelligent apex predators with heightened awareness and lethal adaptability. These creatures view humans as a threat to their ecosystem and fight fiercely to defend their territory.
