The cities of Atlantis, Avalon, Xanadu, and Shangri-La may exist out of place, out of time, and out of legend, but behind every legend lurks a kernel of truth, which often pales when compared to its glorified counterpart. The United States has its own mythical city, the top-secret Dreamland-Area 51. Steeped in the lore of UFOs, the secrecy surrounding Area 51 does nothing to dispel its reputation, and that's the departure point for 51 Ghost Town, except that the reality is more fantastic than myth, where it seems to be just a quaint old west mining town with secrets older than mankind's oldest civilizations, and the source from whence come mankind's legends of dragons, fairies, gods, goddesses, and more recently, aliens, time slips, interdimensional travel, and so much more.
