When the all-female Hollywood pride encounters the Nomads, a new pride of rival males, they quickly realize that it will not be a happy encounter.

The Hollywood pride reels after the Nomads' brutal attack on their leader, Ava, leaves her desperately weak and unable to hunt. To add to her woes, her hungry pride starts rejecting her. But without her, they struggle to bring down prey.

The lions of the Nomad pride rampage deep into the heart of the MK pride’s territory, scattering its members and coming dangerously close to the five new MK cubs. Meanwhile, the Hollywoods are recovering, and Ava’s survival skills are still intact.

After the dry season lowers the waters, siblings Kimba and Maya risk crossing the river to search for their parents. They run the gauntlet of the densest populations of crocs and hippos in Africa, and face an even greater threat on the other side.

During the last few weeks of the dry season, the prides stick close to the only available water in the river. But in Luangwa, that proximity spells danger, especially when the scent of a hippo kill compels the Hollywoods to cross the river.

The all-female Hollywood pride has been in exile after being attacked by the four Nomad brothers. But their leader, Ava, decides to lead her family south to the heart of their territory for a showdown to the Nomads.
