Romana has been recalled to Gallifrey by the Time Lords – a summons that cannot be ignored, despite her reluctance to give up the freedom and excitement of being the Doctor’s companion. The course is set, the flight path is clear, the ETA to Gallifrey is 32 minutes – and then the unexpected happens. Temporary loss of control over the Tardis lands them on the terror planet Alzarius at the time when the legendary Mistfall happens  – when the giant scaly creatures that live in the planet’s swamps leave the marshes and go on a rampage of death and destruction.
