Life finds a way…Jake (that’s me!) is enjoying a relaxing vacation at Jurassic Park when something goes terribly wrong and the dinosaurs escape their cages. With the prehistoric beasts running rampant, the race is on to get to the last boat off the island…and see if you could survive the awesome power of a T-Rex bite, being hunted by Pterosaurs and conversely, whether or not dinosaurs could actually survive in OUR world.
