In the dawn of the Twentieth-Second Century, Earth is depleted with the environment completely destroyed. The cop and family man Jim Shannon is happily married with Dr. Elisabeth Shannon, and they have the teenage son Josh; the teenage daughter Maddy; and the three-year-old daughter Zoe. However, the law only allows two children per family and when the police officers find Zoe, Jim hits the commander of the operation and is arrested. He is sentenced to six years in the prison, but two years later, Elisabeth visits him and says that she was invited to go to Terra Nova, a settlement 85 million years in the prehistoric Earth. The problem is that he is in prison and Zoe is not allowed to go. Elisabeth plots a scheme and Jim flees and is transported with his family to the past. On the arrival, they meet the leader, Cmdr. Nathaniel Taylor, who gives an opportunity to Jim to stay in Terra Nova.
