Othello, the Moorish general of Venice, marries Desdemona, the daughter of a wealthy Venetian, but must prove the authenticity of their love. Unbeknownst to them, Othello's seemingly 'honest' friend Iago harbors plans of power and revenge. As they journey to Cyprus, Iago cunningly sets Othello against Desdemona and his lieutenant, Cassio, manipulating truths and lies to ignite a devastating jealousy. Can Othello discern the real truth before it's too late?
