A science fiction love story set against the backdrop of a small desert town in southeastern Arizona, GROOM LAKE follows Kate (Acker), a beautiful, young woman with a terminal illness, who sets out to prove the existence of extra-terrestrials, thereby reaffirming some hope of life after death. Together with her husband (Dan Gauthier), she travels to Groom Lake, an eccentric area on the outskirts of a military base. Lured in by the townspeople and their bizarre stories of UFO and alien encounters, the couple soon find themselves witness to strange events and sightings. Ultimately, their investigation brings them face to face with a military conspiracy and the truth behind the alien mystery.
UFO enthusiasts may recognize Groom Lake as one of the many names associated with the top-secret United States military facility located about 90 miles north of Las Vegas. Also known as Area 51, the site is believed to be a testing ground for sophisticated aircraft and has long been associated with UFO sightings.
