The TARDIS loses its integrity and breaks apart into many pieces, stranding the Doctor, Tegan and Turlough in the far future on the remote planet of Frontios. They find a small group of humans apparently, the only survivors of the human race barely surviving after the crash of their spacecraft. They are under constant bombardment by meteors, and some of them have mysteriously disappeared. Turlough and Norna, a young female survivor, stumble across an underground cave system and start exploring it. Norna disappears and Turlough is found wandering around in a state of shock. The Doctor must try to make sense of Turlough’s ramblings, and discover what is happening to the survivors and can he repair the TARDIS?
