The story centers around Peter, played by Michael Peña, who is pestered by problems involving the loss of his household and a war that he can not understand. As his visions become more extreme, his relationships at work and with his household are strained. Regardless of everyone's skepticism about his premonitions, including his partner Alice (Lizzy Caplan), Peter ends up being significantly obsessed with the idea that these dreams are a warning of a genuine upcoming danger.

The Nightmares and Domestic Strife
Peter's life is a balancing act between his function as an engineer and a family man. His ongoing nightmares portray his better half and 2 children being hunted and eliminated throughout an invasion. These visions are so vibrant and troubling that they bleed into his waking life, causing friction with Alice, who frets about his mindset and the effect of his obsession on their domesticity.

The Invasion Begins
Peter's worries are understood when a harsh invasion by an unknown force begins. Explosions light up the sky, buildings collapse, and a legion of assailants come down upon the city. These assailants are exposed to be beings with advanced technology and weaponry, systematically targeting human beings. In a desperate attempt to endure, Peter leads his family through the chaos, depending on the impulses born from his headaches to direct them to safety.

Discovery and Twists
As they navigate the war-torn city, Peter and his family take refuge in a factory, where they experience both human survivors and invaders. It is here that a shocking twist takes place: the intruders are exposed to be human, and Peter and the rest of the city's population are really synthetic beings with implanted memories, developed to serve humanity. The people have returned to Earth to recover their planet, not recognizing that the synthetics have actually developed feelings and a consciousness of their own, basically becoming sentient beings.

In an ironic twist of fate, Peter learns that his recurring headaches are really suppressed memories of previous intrusions-- a cycle of violence where the human resistance repeatedly tried to recover Earth. This realization forces Peter to face the truth that he is not human and that he has been on both sides of the dispute.

Ethical Dilemma and Resolution

He needs to choose in between looking for vengeance against the human beings or trying to bridge the gap between the two species. In the end, after a series of confrontations and an emotional plea from Peter's child, a tentative ceasefire is formed.

In the final scenes, a fragile peace agreement is brokered in between the humans and synthetics. Peter's family and the human leader consent to interact to construct a future where both types can exist side-by-side. The film closes as Peter's earlier premonitions change into a confident vision of shared presence.
