Synopsis
Two construction workers in Cuzco, Peru in 1992 talk jokingly about stories of an Incan ghost haunting the place. Suddenly, a mysterious feathered figure appears.

In the TARDIS, the Eleventh Doctor is about to take Amy Pond and Rory Williams to the planet of Florana, when they are dragged off course and trapped in a time corridor. They land in Peru in 1992.

On the planet Helion, home of the bird-like Ra'ra'vis, the solstice of Pajaro approaches, and is being celebrated inthe city of Nidus. Every generation the crystalline moons of Helion align with its sun and create an energy beam that lasts for a few hours is used to rejuvenate the old and sick.

Ra'ra'vis scientist Tigil and Entek, a young chrononaut, who is the son of Philibus, the Potentate of Helion, prepare for their first time travel experiment, powered thanks to the fact that a unique double solstice was to happen. After they open a time corridor, the equipment malfunctions and Tigil loses trace of Entek.

Philibus is outraged and demands that Tigil find a way to bring his son back. Tigil then suggests that they try to contact the legendary Time Lords for help. After they send a message throught the vortex, a mysterious hooded figure appears on a spaceship near Helion and demands that he be taken to the Ra'ra'vis leader.

The Doctor, Amy and Rory find Entek in Peru and take him to the TARDIS. When they learn of the situation, they call the Ra'ra'vis homeworld, only to be told by Philibus that Helion has already enlisted help... from Gallifrey.

The Doctor sets course to Helion and is greeted by soldiers in Gallifreyan Chancellery Guard uniforms and a man claiming to be Time Lord Castellan Bond who orders the "renegades" to be arrested.
