It's 1964, briefly at least, and the [[Fifth Doctor]] has just recently left [[Tegan Jovanka]] at [[Heathrow Airport]] in the wake of [[Adric]]'s untimely death. Travelling alone with [[Nyssa]], he materialises [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] in the icy north of [[Alaska]]. The TARDIS seems to have a mind of its own, locking in on an odd energy source and disappearing back into the time vortex; it rematerialises in the same location, but thirty years in the future, in 1994. Here it does land, and the Doctor and Nyssa find themselves chased by a dangerous creature across the tundra to an unusual house and an odd group of individuals. | It's 1964, briefly at least, and the [[Fifth Doctor]] has just recently left [[Tegan Jovanka]] at [[Heathrow Airport]] in the wake of [[Adric]]'s untimely death.

Multi-millionaire Shaun Brett has made a fortune in Alaskan oil, but at a price: the death of his father in 1964. He is now building and furnishing the house—sourced from local materials, which is a desecration in the eyes of the local natives—as a shrine to his father's memory. He is matched with Tulung, a half-[[Koyukon]] native hired by Brett to liaise with the locals, whose father died in the same incident as Brett's father. Each blames the other's father for the tragedy. Brett is assisted by Gaborik, another Kolyukon, who is secretly sabotaging the work so as to ensure his own continued employment and is also stealing pelts from the house to sell. Also on site is Monica Lewis, an interior designer who has been working at the site for three years, crafting the interior of the house. | Multi-millionaire Shaun Brett has made a fortune in Alaskan oil, but at a price: the death of his father in 1964.
