As they attempt to adjust to this new land, a renegade group, the Outsiders, discovers a mysterious amulet that allows them to control the Tyrannosaurs and the pteranodons. The rebels intend to capitalize on their good fortune, but Karl and David aim to stop them.

The two-hour opener begins a month after the plane accident that stranded Frank Scott and his sons, Karl and David, in Dinotopia. As they attempt to adjust to this new land, a renegade group, the Outsiders, discovers a mysterious amulet that allows them to control the Tyrannosaurs and the pteranodons. The rebels intend to capitalize on their good fortune, but Karl and David aim to stop them.

When Karl is bitten by a poisonous mosquito, Dinotopia cannot provide him with an antidote, so David must embark upon a dangerous mission through a secret portal back to the world he used to call home.

The rescue mission is thrown into chaos when David, LeSage and the Chasmosaur take a wrong turn: instead of arriving in New York, they find themselves in Budapest.
