As a piece of alien weaponry poses an existential threat to [[mankind]], the Doctor has to team up with a local poet as they try to unravel the mysteries of why a Lady has been seen walking over the surface of [[Llyn-y-Van Bach Lake]], and why all the animals nearby have been dying at midnight.

You've heard of the [[Summer of Love|summer of love]]? [[1967]]; [[San Francisco]]; turn on, tune in, drop out; kids with [[flower]]s in their [[hair]]? Well, Barry had its own summer of love a year earlier, in [[1966]]. Oh, I'm not talking [[flower power]] – it was still mods and rockers round here, [[suit]]s and [[scooter]]s or [[leather]] and [[brylcreem]]. But Barry's summer of love ended eventually, making way for – well, let’s call it the [[Autumn of Apathy]]. No [[music]], no [[light]]s, no [[queue]]s. Just silent streets. At least they were silent – until that night. The night [[Eleventh Doctor|the Doctor]] arrived...
