The plot reaches back to the 1950s, when the nice little town of Westbridge, like so many other nice little towns all across America, had its very own Nike missile base. The Conspiracy Club, a grandly named “secret society” organized by a group of high school friends in the late 1990s, was obsessed with the installation and why it was shut down in 1974. Years later, some members of the club are still obsessed with the missile base, which they suspect was the scene of government experiments involving LSD.
