Based on a true story, ASSEMBLY follows one man's journey in search of truth and honor in the aftermath of one of the bloodiest battles in the Chinese Civil War.

Winter 1948: Captain Guzidi leads an infantry unit consisting of just 46 men on a sniping mission to defend the south bank of the Wen River. Their orders are to fight until the retreat assembly call is sounded. That call never comes. After many long hours of defense and with ammunition running out, men are falling hard and fast. The realization dawns on Guzidi that the call might have been missed in the heat of battle, contributing to the deaths of those under his command. Waking in the hospital after a brutal campaign Guzidi believes the last of his men sacrificed themselves during the deadly engagement. But he is shocked to discover they have been deemed missing or worse, deserters. He returns to the site of the battle, determined to prove the heroism of his 46 men and honor their glorious deaths.
