[[Eighth Doctor|The Doctor]] and [[ | [[Eighth Doctor|The Doctor]] and [[Sam Jones|Sam]] arrive on [[Proxima II]], one of the earliest planets colonised in humanity's first big push into space. But instead of a brave new world, they find a settlement rife with superstition and unrest. | ||

It seems that the superstitious whisperings of the colonists may be well founded — that the sinister [[Face-Eater]] from Proximan mythology has awakened from its long sleep, to drive out all those who would defile its world... | Posing as investigators from [[Earth]], [[Eighth Doctor|the Doctor]] and [[Sam Jones|Sam]] must track down the force moving through the dark catacombs beneath [[Proxima City]].
