The Doctor arrives at Paradise Towers, a sprawling high-rise housing estate that was built as an idyllic haven for the residents. However, the tower now appears to be an abandoned wasteland, with the upper floors taken over by gangs of feral young girls known as the Kangs and the lower levels run by cannibalistic old women called the Rezzies. The Doctor allies himself with a timid young Kang named Pex, the only survivor of his previous group, to uncover the strange and sinister underbelly of the Towers.

They soon discover the true nature of Paradise Towers — it was built as a revolutionary experiment in societal living, but the planning and execution of the experiment have resulted in a dystopian nightmare. The Caretakers, the supposed protectors of the building, have become corrupt and murderous, and the Rezzies and the Kangs are caught in the crossfire.

The Doctor finds himself in a race against time to stop the escalating violence and restore order to the Towers. He faces numerous obstacles along the way, from a formidable cleaning machine called Kroagnon to the enigmatic architect of Paradise Towers, who has long since abandoned his creation.

As the Doctor and Pex navigate the treacherous hallways and hidden chambers of Paradise Towers, they encounter a host of colorful characters, from the neurotic deputy chief of the Caretakers to the rogue gang member who becomes a loyal ally in the Doctor's fight to save the Towers. The episode is full of twists and turns, culminating in a shocking finale that leaves the Doctor and his companions facing an uncertain future.

Overall, the episode provides a thought-provoking look at the dangers of utopian ideals and the consequences of unchecked power. It is an engaging and suspenseful adventure that showcases the best of Doctor Who's blend of sci-fi, drama, and humor.
