Elizabeth Carter has a few problems, among these:
1. Your dad being secretly married and not telling you.
2. Moving to England the summer her last year of high school starts.
3. Dad neglecting her.
4. Mom died years ago.
5. Being American in London.
6. Having an abusive step-family.
7. Going camping for the first time with her new family.
8. Stumbling across a blue police box.
9. Entering that police box.
10. That police box is smaller on the outside.
11. Or bigger on the inside.
12. Meeting a man in that box.
13. The man won't introduce himself.
14. He calls himself the Doctor.
15. He's an alien.
16. She's faced with the choice of going with the Doctor or staying with her new family.
17. She's Elizabeth, not Lizzie.
If Elizabeth goes with the Doctor, she'll have the experience of a lifetime. She'll go to different planets, different times, and different realities. Time and space belongs to her. Just her and the Doctor in that blue box for forever.
If Elizabeth stays with her family, she'll be able to live her new life and hopefully make peace with her stepmom and step siblings. She can finally get her father of notice her and make some success in her life.
But is it worth facing death constantly with the Doctor? Is the whole of time and space really worth hurting everyone around her? Will she ever get to live a normal life? Is the Doctor the person he says he is? Questions surround Elizabeth as she makes a difficult decision that can change her life.
