Torchwood One, a covert organization dedicated to safeguarding the British Empire and ensuring the safety of its citizens, has encountered a mysterious and unsettling presence that has infiltrated their ranks. This ancient and powerful entity, shrouded in secrecy and forgotten by time, possesses a deep understanding of how the world should be governed and how people should be utilized. As humanity faces imminent threats, the call goes out for Yvonne Hartman, a skilled and experienced agent of Torchwood One.

Before the events depicted in the popular modern Doctor Who stories Army of Ghosts and Doomsday, this second installment takes a closer look at the London-based team. The Law Machines, a bold new law and order initiative launched by the Mayor of London, promises to keep the capital safe from crime, fear, and terrorism. However, as the machines are launched, a series of unexpected events unfold, raising questions about their true intentions and the potential dangers they pose.

In Blind Summit, Ianto Jones, a recent transplant to London, finds himself in a desperate situation. Broke, friendless, and without a future, he loses the one thing he has been clinging to, and suddenly people around him begin to die. Desperate for salvation, he encounters a mysterious woman who offers him a lifeline. But as he delves deeper into her world, he realizes that she may have her own agenda, and he may be walking into a trap.

Monday morning brings a new day for Stacey, a temp worker who loves her job. However, in 9 to 5, she receives a chilling warning from a man in the coffee queue. He tells her that she is going to die today. Panic sets in as Stacey tries to unravel the mystery and prevent her impending fate.
