Business is war! A gateway has been opened to another world where monsters and magic are real, and so are the profits! Roland Griff is a billionaire who sees the immediate potential of another, more primitive world rich with resources and cheap labour. He asks oil prospector Marc Aaron to join him and bring his family along for the adventure. For Marc, it's a chance to reconnect with his estranged wife Diane, and his young son and daughter who are practically strangers. Nothing, however, goes the way its supposed to. The orc inhabitants of the fourth world aren't content with being exploited the way Roland Griff hopes, and the gate turns to be a Pandora's box for Marc and his family. It's Jurassic Park meets Planet of the Apes meets The Lord of the Rings, in an epic tale of a family trying to survive in a world gone mad.
