The Visiting (Invasion renamed), is a sci-fi thriller in which Nicole Kidman plays a psychiatrist living in Washington DC. It tells the story of a mysterious epidemic that alters the behavior of human beings. Once she discovers the epidemics origin is extraterrestrial she must fight to protect her son who may hold the key to stopping an imminent invasion.
More details on the story from filmforce (thanks C81): Invasion follows Carol (Kidman), a Washington D.C. psychiatrist with a practice overlooking Freedom Plaza. She has a young son, Oliver, but is no longer involved with his father. Ben (Craig) is her companion and colleague.
Not long after a national tragedy has occured (I won't say what it was but it has a recent real-life counterpart), a mysterious "bug" spreads across the globe. Carol's skills as a psychiatrist soon help her recognize a strange pattern that has developed. People are becoming almost emotionless, "oddly somber," and their loved ones all have the same panicked refrain: "He no longer seems like my husband/son/brother, etc."
After people she knows begin to change, Carol learns from a doctor that there is actually something inside them, "something completely foreign," that is altering human DNA. Although it has thus far proven resistant to treatment, Carol discovers that the key to combating this otherworldly invader may lie with someone close to her.
