He's been on trial before, exiled to the threatened Earth during his Third incarnation, a sentence of which he'd gotten off pretty lightly. Now the Sixth Doctor finds himself in a more deadly perilous and deadly court action scenario, his remaining lives forfeit, his actions past, present and future under the scrutinous eyes of a corrupted Time Lord jury subtly thirsting for revenge on the Gallifreyan interloper for his ongoing transgressions across the universe, amidst a once hearing headed by the mysterious and sniping prosecutor known as the 'Valeyard'.
Within a cathedral-like space station, the court is now in session, headed by the seemingly neutral overseer that is the 'Inquisitor', of which the Doctor must use all his skills to thwart personal destruction. But has the evidence deck been stacked against him?
