Simba and Nala leave their daughter Kiara at Pride Rock in the care of Timon, Pumbaa, and Rafiki as they set off on an important journey. One stormy night, Kiara feels scared and begins to doubt if she can live up to the legacy of her father, Simba, and her grandfather, Mufasa. To comfort her, Rafiki tells the story of Mufasa’s early life. As a young cub, Mufasa was separated from his parents and raised by another pride, growing up alongside Taka, who became his best companion quickly. Together, they embarked on a dangerous journey to find the legendary land of Milele, meeting allies like Sarabi, Zazu, and Rafiki while facing threats from a group of fierce white lions led by Kiros.
