[[Ellie Johnson|A woman]] is on the [[mobile phone|phone]] with her dad when she loses signal. She stops her [[car]] when she sees something resembling a body laid out on the road. Taking with her a [[baseball bat]], she ventured outside to see if he's okay. As she nears the corpse, she realises it's actually a [[football]] in a hoodie. She sees a flash out of the corner of her eye, and runs back to her car. Her car's not starting, her car keys are gone, and her mobile's not working. Someone from the outside unlocks the doors, and begins to pull her out of the vehicle. She screams out of sheer terror. | [[Ellie Johnson|A woman]] is on the [[mobile phone|phone]] with her dad when she loses signal.

After stopping at a rural [[hamburger]] stand, to which Tosh denies a burger, due to fears of hepatitis, they begin to [[Camping|set up camp]]. During friendly chatter, [[Owen Harper|Owen]] reveals that his last [[kiss]] was with [[Gwen Cooper|Gwen]], prompting the others to get more details. Owen and Gwen quickly go off to get [[Wood|firewood]], Gwen scolding Owen for revealing the kiss, when they suddenly see two hooded figures through the [[tree]]s. They try to chase them, but instead find a rotting corpse. As the team investigates it to determine the cause of death, they hear [[Torchwood SUV|their SUV]] start and drive off without the team. [[Ianto Jones|Ianto]] tracks the vehicle to a nearby [[Brynblaidd|village]]; [[Jack Harkness|Jack]] believes that the corpse was a lure to make them come to the village, and warns the team to be alert as they split up to investigate. | After stopping at a rural [[hamburger]] stand, to which Tosh denies a burger, due to fears of hepatitis, they begin to [[Camping|set up camp]].

Jack, Gwen and Owen search the [[pub]] and nearby homes to find two further corpses, | Jack, Gwen and Owen search the [[pub]] and nearby homes, only to find two further corpses, both similar to the one in the woods. Other than that, the homes are deserted, save for one young man named [[Kieran (Countrycide)|Kieran]] who accidentally shoots and wounds Gwen with a [[Firearm|shotgun]], believing "they" had come back for him. | ||
Jack tries to calm Kieran down, but the man insists the only way to protect themselves is to barricade themselves in a building. Jack orders his group to the pub to create a defensive position while Owen tends to Gwen's wound. They learn from Kieran more about the victims, still unsure if they are dealing with [[alien]]s from the [[Cardiff Rift|Rift]]. Suddenly, though, as they discuss possibilities, the lights go out and movement comes from both outside the pub and from within the pub's [[cellar]]. The diversion prevents them from keeping Kieran from being dragged away, and Gwen and Owen try to follow against Jack's orders. Jack stays behind to interrogate [[Martin (Countrycide)|Martin]], the man he shot from the cellars. Gwen and Owen come across a [[policeman]] named [[Huw (Countrycide)|Huw]], who says that he is there for the town meeting that night. The man directs the two towards one of the lit buildings in the village. | Jack tries to calm Kieran down, but the man insists the only way to protect themselves is to barricade themselves in a building.

Meanwhile, [[Toshiko Sato|Toshiko]] and Ianto attempt to find the SUV, but are both quickly captured. They awake in a cellar full of old clothes, [[shoe]]s and a refrigerator full of human body parts; Toshiko realises they are to be food for their captors. The cellar door opens, and a scared woman named [[Helen Sherman|Helen]] enters the room holding a shotgun to the two, learns from them of the other Torchwood members, and then tells them that she cannot help them; she has been asked to collect the two for the "Harvest" which happens every ten years. They are taken into a kitchen filled with rotting body parts and corpses. Toshiko quickly realises that Helen is acting, and that she and others are [[Brynblaidd cannibal|cannibals]]. | Meanwhile, [[Toshiko Sato|Toshiko]] and Ianto attempt to find the SUV, but are both quickly captured.

Her husband [[Evan Sherman|Evan]] begins to handcuff them to be prepared for butchering. Ianto headbutts Evan, allowing Toshiko to escape, pursued by Evan. Evan catches up to Toshiko and starts strangling her, but before he can choke her to death, Owen and Gwen, along with Huw, show up to stop him. Evan looks unconcerned as Huw reveals himself to be Evan's nephew, and the two lead the three Torchwood members back to the village at gunpoint, where all the villagers are waiting. | ||

Just before Ianto is cut open and [[blood|bled]], Jack, having learned of the villager's intent from Martin, bursts through the building on a [[tractor]], and disables the assembled villagers. They spare Evan's life to try to learn the truth: that every ten years, the village target travellers passing through the area, and butcher them. When Gwen demands to know why, Evan simply whispers to her, "'Cause it made me happy." which Gwen finds to be highly disturbing. The surviving villagers are taken into custody by the police. | Just before Ianto is cut open and [[blood|bled]], Jack, having learned of the villager's intent from Martin, bursts through the building on a [[tractor]], and disables the assembled villagers.
