The episode begins with the Doctor and his companions exploring the ruined city of London. They quickly discover that the city is under Dalek control and that the human population has been enslaved. The Daleks are using human labor to construct a mysterious weapon, and the Doctor realizes that he must find a way to destroy it before it's too late.
As they investigate, the Doctor and his companions meet an underground resistance group made up of humans who are fighting against the Daleks. The leader of the group, Dortmun, explains that they have been working on a plan to destroy the Dalek's weapon, but they need the Doctor's help to carry it out.
