Area 51 is the US Military site in the Nevada Desert where alien life was 'discovered.' Next to it is a giant hangar (Area 52) containing two US Army soldiers: A corporal and a captain; neither of whom know whom or what they are guarding. When they discover scratch marks on the walls and dried blood on the floor, the question becomes – who the guard is, and who the prisoner. 'Waiting for Godot' meets the 'Twilight Zone' in a tense drama of suspicion, bluff and double bluff and a nerve-shredding conclusion. One hangar, Two men, one Alien.
