The winter festival is approaching for the hardy colony of Morphans, but no one is in the mood to celebrate. They're trying to build a new life on a cold new world, but each year gets harder and harder. It's almost as if some dark force is working against them. Then three mysterious travelers arrive out of the midwinter night, [[Eleventh Doctor|one of them]] claiming to be a [[doctor]]. Are they bringing the gift of salvation or doom? And what else might be lurking out there, about to wake up? | The winter festival is approaching for the hardy colony of Morphans, but no one is in the mood to celebrate.

Instead of returning [[Amy Pond|Amy]] and [[Rory Williams|Rory]] to Leadworth for Christmas as he had promised, the [[Eleventh Doctor|Doctor]] accidentally lands the [[TARDIS]] on an Earth-like planet during winter. While Rory returns to the TARDIS to get a heavier coat, the Doctor and Amy meet the inhabitants of the planet, called [[Morphan]]s, who capture them as they are convinced the Doctor's [[psychic paper]] is a conjure which is banned by their religion. A young woman named Arabel "Bel" Flurrish believes they are connected to her missing sister Vesta, who disappeared the previous night. The Doctor denies that they know anything about Vesta and gains Bel's trust; he uses his [[sonic screwdriver]] to unlock their cage and the three sneak out from the council of Morphans to look for Vesta. Bel tells the Doctor that they are colonists on the planet, named Hereafter, from Earth. The past few years the winters have grown colder, and this year livestock has disappeared in addition to Vesta, suggesting that there is something out there which is eating them for food. The Doctor, Amy, and Bel find they have been followed by a young Morphan named Samewell Crook, who chastises Bel for releasing the Doctor and Amy as he believes her sister will be found by the council, and threatens to go back and report the incident. Because of this, the Doctor decides he will allow Samewell to come with them. They come across footprints intersecting with another set of footprints and soon find blood in the snow; however, this belongs to a sheep, as Samewell soon finds a sheep bone which he easily recognises. | Instead of returning [[Amy Pond|Amy]] and [[Rory Williams|Rory]] to Leadworth for Christmas as he had promised, the [[Eleventh Doctor|Doctor]] accidentally lands the [[TARDIS]] on an Earth-like planet during winter.
