五隻可愛的幼獅成長為令人畏懼的年輕雄獅，變成一股不容忽視的勢力。自出生起，獅群中最年輕的兩隻幼獅怪頭和捲尾就展現出獅王風範。在這群年輕獅子被迫離開獅群之前，一個非常罕見的狀況發生了：牠們的母親冒險讓外來的強壯公獅馬庫魯加入獅群，可能是因為馬庫魯跟牠們是同母異父的兄弟。後來馬庫魯帶著其他年輕公獅，在薩比森保護區開始擴張地盤，在幾年內，殘殺其他公獅，坐擁許多母獅群，成為薩比森全境的統治者。This is a powerful documentary about the rise of a Coalition of six lions, branded The Mapogo Lions, and their takeover of the largest territory by a pride. This was filmed over the past 16 years by professionals and amateurs privileged to witness their survival skills. Down the years, rangers and biologists have been astounded by the pride's relentless hunger for domination as they showed no fear in massacring other lions - and their cubs - in order to expand their territory. In just one year, these six killed more than a hundred lions, and conquered an unprecedented amount of land. Their story is one of violence, deception, and thirst for power, one which reveals a surprisingly sophisticated side to the politics of lion behavior.
