During the 1990s, when the Cold War had just ended, a top-secret American project began to take place. Taking up the principle of the Monster Squad, the top-secret team of the British services from the end of the 50s to the beginning of the 60s, disbanded in 62 after having saved this world and that of Oz from a demonic apocalypse, the mysterious Doctor Alexander Zorka, project leader, intends to reiterate the success of this past team in ensuring the protection of the United States of America... at least, that's what that he claims. After assembling a team of eight very powerful creatures, Zorka will send them on various missions around the world, to face ever stranger supernatural threats. But in this kind of adventure, a question may arise : who are the men... and who are the monsters ?
