It is 1998 and the information age is just about to take off. However, mysterious events are plaguing London. A prominent spy is killed. A hostage situation bizarrely resolved. The Doctor receives a computer disc from a man who is supposed to be dead. It seems that an alien race is planning a takeover using Earth's ever expanding computer technology.
