Woody, who had been living a free life with Bo Peep, returns to help devise a strategy. Meanwhile, Jessie experiences a personal journey after a rejection, accidentally ending up at the farm of her original owner from Toy Story 2. There, she uncovers a poignant family secret that helps her heal from past abandonment trauma.

In this new installment, the well-known gang faces a very modern enemy: addiction to screens and the digital world.
