A small dinosaur named Citipati falls prey to a global extinction event caused by a meteorite impact. Despite his struggling, his body soon succumbs to its wounds and collapses. In his mind, though, the fight against the traumatic experience continues, nearly trapping the fearful dinosaur in his own nightmare. But after overcoming instinct and regaining control of his dreamscape, Citipati decides to face his fears head-on; literally confronting the impact event in his mind and going out in a blaze like a phoenix.
