“Do not trust anyone. Do not show emotion. Do not fall asleep.”
In The Invasion, a psychological thriller, Dr. Carol Bennell and Dr. Ben Driscoll confront an alien virus that turns human beings into emotionless automatons during sleep. Discovered in the wreckage of a space shuttle, the virus spreads silently through Washington D.C., leaving only the two doctors to comprehend its deadly reach. Carol's frantic search for her son becomes a race against time to thwart the impending doom, as she unravels the sinister truth hiding beneath the city's placid surface.
