A chance encounter on a London bus with the charismatic jewel thief Lady Christina quickly spirals into danger for the Doctor when the vehicle is inexplicably diverted to a barren, desert‑like world known as the Planet of the Dead. Stranded among the wreckage, the Doctor discovers the planet is infested with a lethal alien Swarm, forcing him to battle the menace while trying to rescue the passengers and find a way back home.
