While the uncle rules with an iron paw, the prince grows up beyond the Savannah, living by a philosophy: no worries for the rest of your days. But when his past comes to haunt him, the young prince must decide his fate — will he remain an outcast or face his demons and become what he needs to be?

Timon and Pumbaa can do only so much to protect her, especially when she encounters an intriguing rival, Kovu, a cub is being groomed to lead Scar's pride. As Kiara and Kovu search for their proper places in the great "Circle of Life," they discover that it may be their destiny to reunite their prides and bring peace to the Pride Lands.
