On a recently colonized planet, two twelve-year-olds secretly make a pet out of an unfamiliar dinosaur-like youngling searching for his mother who was caught by a mutant monster.
Rea and her father Val move to a newly colonized planet where they become friends with Andy and his mother Sandra, an environmental activist. At his new job in a waste processing plant, Val notices its manager mishandling toxic waste. The poisonous waste ends up underground where various species live, unknown to humans, including dinosaur-like Gorgons and crystal-like Crystons who sense dangerous changes happening. Based on an idea by the Academy Award-winning director Dušan Vukotić.
