The official synopsis reads: Five years after the events of "Jurassic World: Dominion," much of Earth's ecosystem has proven inhospitable for dinosaurs. The surviving creatures are confined to isolated environments near the equator, where the climate mirrors the conditions in which they once thrived. Within this tropical biosphere, three of the largest dinosaurs hold a key component for a miraculous, life-extending drug for humanity.

Zora Bennett, a highly skilled undercover operative, is hired to lead an elite team on a top-secret mission to retrieve genetic material from these three colossal dinosaurs. However, when Zora and her team encounter a civilian family on an aquatic expedition whose boat is capsized by predatory aquatic dinosaurs, they all become stranded on an island. There, they uncover a shocking and sinister secret that has been hidden for decades.
