In the dry, arid desert of central Nevada sits a very ordinary, uneventful town. Once a mining boom of the past, Arcadia, NV looks more like a ghost town now. Sad, dilapidated store fronts hide an even more decayed array of faded and forgotten homes. Built and owned by prominent miners, businessmen and entrepreneurs alike, these homes now hide secrets that run generations deep. Because, behind the sleepy, innocent facade of peaceful little towns, serpents hide. After all, nothing attracts a serpent like a forgotten paradise.
