FICTION embarks on all-new adventures exploring the truths and hidden secrets of the nation's past. Hosted by former Naval officer and actor/comedian, Jamie Kaler, the series uncovers surprising and unknown details of American history to draw a line in the sand separating fact and fiction. Discover the truths behind the baffling disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle, find out what pirates really did with their treasure instead of burying it, and learn the shocking realities about prohibition beyond the seemingly lively roaring twenties.

The series digs into the startling facts about how one treasure was discovered during the California gold rush and - another lost with the Stock Market Crash of 1929. Then at 10:30PM ET, the true stories of the Alamo and Custer's Last Stand are very different from the way we remember them.
