London. The end of November, 1963. A time of change. The old guard are being swept away by the white heat of technology. Political scandals are the talk of the town. Britain tries to maintain its international role; fanatics assassinate charismatic politicians and Group Captain Ian Gilmore is trying to get his fledgling Counter-Measures unit off the ground.
When his life is saved by a familiar umbrella-bearing figure, he knows something terrible is going on. Whilst Rachel investigates an enigmatic millionaire and Allison goes undercover in an extremist organisation, Gilmore discovers a sinister plot with roots a century old.
The Doctor and Ace are back in town. A new dawn is coming. It's time for everyone... to see the Light.
With Ace and Professor Rachel Jensen investigating the Starfire missile project and Alison Williams infiltrating the mysterious DN group, it would seem there's a conspiracy at work at the heart of the British state. Is it entirely terrestrial? Captain Gilmore consults parliament's newest MP, who seems rather familiar.
As the Prime Minister prepares to attend the launch of the Starfire missile, the Doctor discovers a personal connection between the conspirators.
With Rachel and Ace held prisoner, the conspiracy's plans appear to be falling into place. Is the Doctor right when he says it will all be over by evening?
As the dark forces conspiring to bring chaos to the Earth finally come into The Light, it's a race against time for The Doctor, Ace and the Countermeasures team. Is it too late to stop a global disaster?
