On a lonely stretch of Welsh coastline, a hideous creature from beneath the waves kills a fisherman. When the Doctor and Rose arrive they discover a village where children are plagued by nightmares and monsters rule the night.
Who are the ancient figures that sleep in the old priory? Who are the monsters that prowl the woods after sunset and what is the light that glows in the disused lighthouse on Black Island?
