In a bid to improve the environment, the British government, along with the Gynt Foundation and its mysterious benefactor, ‘Mr Hammond’, has built an impressive new net-zero city. For the city to be a success, the government need a prominent green campaigner to endorse it and reassure the public. For this they have chosen the Doctor’s former companion and environmental activist, Polly, but nothing goes according to plan.

When the Doctor arrives in the city and encounters his old friend, he fails to recognise her and an awkward introduction follows before the pair can begin investigating the city and its sinister secret. Meanwhile, an older Dodo is working with the politician behind the plan, but is she aware of the secret that poses a threat to humanity?
