After a top secret mission at the order of President Dwight Eisenhower sent a huge team of military personnel to the now iconic Army base, UFO sightings started sweeping the nation of America.

Cheryl and Nikki Druce are turning back the clock to the 1500s, to travel to the “new world” (see: America). After a previous failed attempt, Queen Elizabeth the 1st was hell bent on colonising as much of the world as possible, and so, under the guidance of John White, 120 volunteers travelled 3,795 miles across the choppy Atlantic to create their new home… it was the last journey they would ever take, as just a few years later they would mysteriously vanish off the face of the Earth.
