In 1969, at the height of the Vietnam War, the American government resurrects a lost top-secret experiment from WWII known as Project M. They hire hard-as-nails Lt. Matthew Shrieve to hire obscure metahumans from around the country to join. What he doesn't know is the people recruited were more unusual than Matthew thought. Did the M stand for Metahumans or something else? As he wonders this, Matthew reluctantly hires Sgt. Vincent Velcro, a vampire, Dr. Myrra Rhodes, a gorgon/woman hybrid, Warren Griffith, a werewolf, Dr. Nina Mazursky, a Gill-Woman/mermaid (though mainly Gill-Woman) hybrid, Khalis, a mummy and Pvt. Elliot 'Lucky' Taylor, a mute man resembling Frankenstein's Monster after losing his limbs in a landmine explosion. It's then Matthew realizes the 'M' stands for Monster. Can these ragtag group of misfits find a way to work together to stop a mad Nazi scientist lost since the 30s?
