The Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith emerge from the TARDIS in the middle of some desolate landscape. The sound of a warning siren alerts them to the fact that an explosion is about to occur. Unable to reach the safety of the TARDIS, both are caught in the debris from the explosion. A rescue team unearths the Doctor and then Sarah: the latter clutching what appears to be a fossilised hand.
Sarah makes an amazing recovery at the hospital, however, it would that the hand is controlling her and directs her to a nearby nuclear power station. There, she initiates a meltdown, all the time muttering that "Eldrad must live."
Can the Doctor save Sarah? Can he stop the reactor from reaching critical mass? And who is Eldrad?
