Imagine the Doctor. Then subtract pacifism, fear and remorse. The Doctor is dead from Morbius' trap. But back on Gallifrey, a mysterious technician is attempting to use ancient Time Lord technology to create a new version of the Doctor; but not necessarily with the same ethics. This man will use manipulation, weapons, the sharing of forbidden secrets and the trust of his worst enemies in a scheme that is either for the greater good...or the greater evil.
