Synopsis/Details
Cassy Carter: Love Eternal follows the story of Cassandra Ruth Carter as she deals with the truth of her existence after the sudden, unexplained death of her mother.
The film opens as we follow Cassy's early years as a child and her struggle with an incurable form of epilepsy. Her mother Allison does her best to manage, and, when Cassy meets and marries Roger Carter, he takes the burden. After Allison dies, a lawyer hands Cassy a data chip that is apparently her mother's entire estate.
Cassy watches the video on the chip which explains that she is a highly advanced Cyber Assassin. Allison stole her from the lab and destroyed the research that created Cassy. Now that Allison is dead, she can no longer protect Cassy, and the Harlan Corporation will be looking for her.
Cassy and Harlan Corp. play a game of cat-and-mouse that culminates in her corrupting later-model Cyber Assassins(Cassies) by removing their limiters just like her mother's video removed her limiters.
After an attempt to apprehend Roger results in two more Cassies being turned by Cassy, the government, who is funding the Cyber Assassin project, calls in the military to contain or destroy the robots.
As the military makes its way to Harlan Tower, Cassy and her freed sisters assault the tower to free the rest of the Cassies being held prisoner and to take revenge on the man who they consider their father. On the way, they encounter weapons whose existence were kept secret from the Cassies, so they must creatively and tactically fight through the tower while Cassy uses her nanomachines to assimilate all of the matter inside.
The Cassies encounter Epsilon-model Cassies who are immune to Cassy's ability to hack her sisters. This leads to two set piece fights between the freed Cassies and the Epsilons. The fights are intercut with a fight in the basement to free the Cassie robots that are frozen in cryopods. As more Cassies are freed, Cassy, the Alpha, becomes smarter and smarter. She realizes that killing or imprisoning their father would be making the choice for him, so she gives him the choice, and he jumps out of his thirty-story window just as the military arrives.
Cassy's confrontation with the military is a surrender. With her massive, and constantly growing, intelligence, she sees that the only way a fight ends is with the destruction of humanity. She warns the Commanding Officer that the next shot will be fired by humans, but the last shot will be fired by her.
Back inside the fully assimilated tower, the Cassies take over the computers of the world until one strikes back in a way that hurts them all. Cassy takes Roger, who would naturally be immune to a computer virus, to the location where the final secrets about Cassy, Allison, and the Cyber Assassin project are revealed.
