A mask is found in the dirt, and it should have stayed buried.
At a remote dig site, an artifact surfaces with a face that does not belong to any century. The moment it's handled, the rules begin to change. Reflections linger too long. Recordings don't match what was filmed. People start speaking in words they never learned, with memories that are not theirs.
Ingrid knows the difference between superstition and contamination. She's trained to contain threats, not fear them. But this isn't a virus and it isn't a curse in the old sense. It's a system. It edits reality through mirrors, cameras, glass, and anything that can hold an image long enough to be repeated.
The team can lock down the mask. They can shut off the lights. They can erase the footage.
What they can't stop is the way it spreads by being seen.
Because once the mask has your face, it doesn't need the artifact anymore.
The Trickster's Face is a relentless horror thriller about identity theft at the deepest level, where the enemy isn't chasing you... it's replacing you.
