As the couple named Nick and Sarah as well as The Doctor and her friends were killed by the Daleks on New Year's eve, they were thrown to the time loop reliving the terrifying moment over and over again. As they failed the second attempt because of the Dalek smart enough to read their moves, the third attempt saw the couple back together and with The Doctor found them, they group together for a plan to escape from the Daleks.
Hiding from the Daleks, The Doctor came up with a plan to use the time loop as their advantage against the Dalek. By the time they got killed by the Daleks again, they were back for their fourth attempt and this time, it's four minutes before midnight. The answer is on the fifth floor. They were killed again and starting over again with one minute down.
As Nick outsmarted the Daleks, the gang regroups for a change of plans; divide and outsmart the Daleks by all means. As they were killed again by the Daleks, the real challenge begins. However, they were ambushed in the dark and failed to defeat the Daleks, resulting to their death...again.
With only two minutes before midnight, the gang are resorting to drastic measures by throwing a decoy tactic to throw the Daleks off. By the time there were back in the loop with a minute left before midnight, the gang set off an explosive trap for one last attempt to defeat the Daleks and succeeded. An explosive endgame to ring in the New Year.
With the Daleks met their explosive demise, and with the couple starting their new lives together, The Doctor and friends are setting off for another adventure...
