Canon
At the dawn of the 20th century, a band of five adventurers are part of an expedition to prove the existence of a lost world isolated from the modern world. The expedition group find themselves trapped and isolated in this dangerous uncharted Amazon prehistoric plateau when their hot-air balloon is destroyed. They find help in a young wild woman who was stranded in the land herself as a child with her parents (although they too disappeared years prior). Together, the group fight to survive against dinosaurs and other dangers that the land has as they search for a way to go home.

Season 4
Due to various behind the scenes issues the series was unexpectedly cancelled after season 3, leaving the series on a cliffhanger ending and many story-lines left unresolved. There was a fan petition to try and encourage the production of season 4, it had almost 6,000 signatures,[1] and there was a fan petition asking for a novel or novels based on the series,[2] with over 600 signatures, neither petition was successful. There was also a letter writing campaign.[3]
