In 1974, something came out of the sea during the invasion of Cyprus, killing Greeks and Turks indiscriminately until it was bombed into dormancy and entombed.

In 1988 a rock band disappeared while filming on an abandoned island-town off the coast of Japan.

In 1991, a squad of US infantry was attacked in Iraq by a bulletproof, invisible entity.

Mask of the Other connects these disparate events, as a group of soldiers plunders the remnants of Saddam's occult weapons program and attempts to engage with creatures of an inhuman mythos...as equals.

It does not go well for them.
