The Enterprise goes to a really crappy planet where a ship might have crashed long, long ago. However, instead of finding humanoids, some spirit-like beings take control of several members of the landing party. Coming back aboard the ship, the possessed crew members try to take over the ship and take hostages. Of the three, the one possessing Data is the creepiest--with a desire to kick butt and do great bodily harm. Can Picard do anything to get the hostages back alive, solve the problem with the possession and maintain control of the ship?
I don't think it's giving anything away to say that eventually good triumphs over evil in this one. However, despite being an excellent episode, the ending seemed too easy. After all, why should the aliens EVER tell the truth about who they are and why should they really care about each other? Still, well worth seeing and exciting.
