## Plot

On June 2015 in Ireland, Maggie May, having misgivings on her current job, turns to receive encouragement from her brother Jordan. Jordan plans to travel to London to stay with their father, thereby leaving Maggie behind, though he promises an elated Maggie that he could visit her in the summer.

In the present, she confronts the Doctor for not bringing up their kiss, though he assures to her that he cares. Completed his work on the "dimension jumper", a component that allows the TARDIS to travel the vast multiverse, the Doctor lands in the alternate universe of dimension 10. After the pair realize that this world is invaded and ruled by the Dalek Empire, they are rescued by a living counterpart of the late Jordan, whose Maggie was killed by the Daleks (the same way Jordan was killed). This Jordan is a member of a resistance team, once allied with this universe's Doctor before the Daleks killed him. Jordan recovers a posthumous device from his Doctor's grave containing schematic plans to the empire's capitol, which leads directly to the emperor, whom the resistance is planning to kill in hopes of overthrowing the empire; he also vaguely explains in a holographic message that Jordan knows what to do "when the time comes". The Daleks stole the TARDIS, endangering the abundance of its power reserves. They plan to cross the resistance and with the displaced TARDIS, expand their forces to subjugate all of time, space, and the multiverse.

The Doctor and the Mays enter the resistance's base. Jordan reveals that in this dimension, the Daleks won the Time War and defeated the Time Lords by acquiring the Moment, a weapon that allows them to obliterate any opposing race, easily subjugating the entire universe. When a shady figure arrives outside, the spooked Doctor confronts him and have a vague conversation before having sudden outbursts and ordering him to leave. The Daleks ambush the base and overpowers the resistance's army, planning take the surviving causalities for one of their experiments, while the trio heads to the capitol. Sympathizing with Maggie's loss akin to his own, Jordan offers her to stay with him to be a family again, but she opts to finalize her decision once the mission is complete; the Doctor is torn by the possibility that she would accept and leave him. Meanwhile, the Daleks notify the emperor that the Doctor is present.

Infiltrated the capitol, the Mays go to recover the experiment's victims, while the Doctor searches for the Moment. The Mays encounter Jordan's friend Jefferson, a resistance member experimented on, who reveals that the experiments were to turn the victims into Daleks, with the failed trials often resulting in decaying to an organic Dalek residue (similar to the one on the beach). Jordan reluctantly kills Jefferson to end his suffering. Meanwhile, the Doctor finds the Moment, but it manifests the form of Nathan, the Doctor's late son. The Moment torments the Doctor on what he lost prior, pointing that he intends to use the weapon to wipe out the Daleks. Grappling with this, the Doctor says that there is a "better way" and persuades the Moment to destroy itself, crippling the Dalek's assets. Enraged by what the Daleks have taken, Maggie have the chance to kill one, but she realizes that'll make her just like them, sparing them. Captured by the Daleks, the Doctor and the Mays are taken to the emperor, who is Davros mutated past the "original form". Doing what his Doctor ordered in the message, Jordan uses the device to upload his Doctor to the main plane as a virus, rendering the Daleks defenseless and defeated.

As the capitol crumbles, the trio escape with the TARDIS at the cost of exhausting its energy. The Doctor feeds his regeneration energy in order to return to his universe, only to have limited time. The Doctor awaits in the TARDIS, while Maggie finalizes her decision. Maggie decides to leave and bids a final farewell to Jordan, understanding that she needs to "move forward". Thinking Maggie needs her brother rather than him anymore, the Doctor is about to leave until Maggie enters and rejoins him as the duo take off.

In a flashback to the Doctor's conversation with the shady figure, the figure, revealed to be his future self, informs him about "the dictator" and instructs him to "look for Maggie" in spite of breaking "every rule", making the Doctor speechless.
