In the Pacific Northwest, a mysterious alien infection threatens to consume humanity from within. Haunted by the loss of his family, ex-cop Sam Hardin and his gifted son Frankie are on the run, hunting the monstrous creatures unleashed by an ancient artifact. They cross paths with a cast of survivors—a determined crime scene analyst, a traumatized boy, a battle-hardened Marine, and everyday townsfolk—they must confront not only the relentless, shape-shifting enemy but also the darkness within themselves.

When a small town is sealed off by a force field and overrun by infected townspeople and monstrous offspring, the survivors make a desperate last stand at Peskin's gun shop. With resources dwindling and hope fading, Sam and his allies devise a daring plan to destroy the alien machine fueling the invasion. Sacrifices are made, alliances are tested, and the line between human and monster blurs as the group fights for survival.

As the military closes in and the truth about the infection emerges, the survivors must decide who to trust, and what they’re willing to become to save the world. In the aftermath, the battle continues in the shadows, hinting that the threat may never truly be gone.
Assimilation is a harrowing tale of courage, loss, and the enduring will to resist extinction,
