- A haunting roar echoes across the Liuwa Plain. There is no answer, there hasn't been for years. She has no pride, no support - she alone must safeguard her own survival. She is Lady Liuwa, the Last Lioness.
- On Zambia's Liuwa Plain two star-crossed spotted hyena cubs are born to warring rival clans: Twaambo, a male cub and Nasanta, a female, are destined to lead converging lives as their extreme environment forces them together.
- The circle of life is broken in Zambia's Liuwa Plains National Park. Settlers, poachers, and professional hunters have almost wiped out the lion population, leaving just one lioness in the vast wilderness - but not for long. This is the story of "Lady Liuwa," a lion queen without a kingdom, and Herbert Brauer, a wildlife cinematographer on a six-year journey to find her a mate in hopes of forming a new pride. It's a mission full of setbacks and disappointments, chaos and danger, and the magic of unexpected relationships.
- On the plains of Zambia, a mother cheetah must protect her cubs from hyenas and the dangerous neighbors.
- A young rival poses a challenge to a hyena queen.
- Spotted Hyena. Thief, coward, scavenger... That's the reputation that precedes them. It couldn't be further from the truth. Hyenas are opportunists. If they need to steal, they will. If caution is the better part of valor then they're cautious. And they're never going to say no to a free meal - even if it's the scraps left behind by other predators. When they're finished with a carcass, all that's left on the ground is a wet spot. A large enough gang can completely consume a wildebeest in 15 minutes - skin, flesh and bones. Waste not want not is the rule by which they live. And unlike some other predators, hyenas are dominated by females. Preserving the Matriarch's bloodline is everything. We follow a gang as it strives to thrive. The oldest female in a new litter will be the successor to the 'throne'. She will be the new matriarch when her mother eventually dies. Sadly, her mother dies before her time, and the young female becomes the gang's new leader. But not for long. She is killed by lions - a common occurrence as most hyena deaths are caused by their nemesis. Now the youngest female, who was born with virtually no social standing, becomes the new matriarch. This is now her gang. And her first female offspring will stand in line as the next heir. Protecting the bloodline of the dynasty is critical. The entire future of the gang depends upon it.
- Filmmaker Herbert Bauer discovers the last remaining lioness of Liuwa in Zambia purely by chance when she steps out of myth and into his viewfinder. A remarkable bond develops between filmmaker and this lonely lioness that he calls Lady. Inspired by her resilience, African Parks and the Carnivore team at the Zambia Wildlife Authority decide to re-establish a viable pride in Liuwa. They build a shelter also known as a boma. They dart two males in a neighboring park and transport them to Lady's core territory. Lady considers both males but after a year, she's still not pregnant. To bolster the chances of establishing a pride, two young females are imported but their bond collapses when the males attack them once they're released from the enclosure. One bolts for the Angolan border, the other goes missing and is presumed dead when the scientists find her collar in a river. A helicopter rescue attempt is launched to find the other female before she crosses the Angolan border. Anxious to find females, the two male lions leave and walk to Angola in record time. Death waits for one of them in the form of an armed farmer. Of the five lions, now only three remain. The young female, now fully grown and in estrous finally mate with the male. Lady is excluded from this new romance but her involvement is vital. She can no longer produce a cub, but she can impart her survival skills. Unexpectedly, they hunt together. Lady steps into her leadership position with aplomb. The Kingdom is secured. Lions are back in Liuwa.
