The sudden disappearance of the dinosaurs 65 million year ago continues to raise an unending stream of questions - Was their annihilation triggered by the impact of a gigantic asteroid? Two German research scientists working in the northeast of Mexico are following a different tact.

Yet these creatures did not die natural deaths. What exactly happened in the north eastern corner of Mexico at the end of the Cretaceous Era? The film accompanies the two scientists in their detective work in a search for answers
