In 1548, American-born Jona Edwards; once an adviser to the deceased King Henry VIII; was accused of conspiracy against the Tudor monarchy. He was hanged and executed after being found guilty of a crime he could've commit. 478 years later, Toby Adams (who is autistic) and his elder wife Ryan Maximus are a young couple living in a rural town of Welwyn Garden City. But, for Toby, he learn from Ryan and her brother Chris about the rumoured Blackstar - a group of supernatural entities and possibly alien race (including the Daleks) - that could pose a threat to the whole of human civilisation but also himself; and the possibility of Jona's return for revenge on those responsible for his execution. With the help from a priest and a professor, they must take down Jona and his Blackstar group once and for all; otherwise it'll be all too late?
