Asistentica prati jedan dan u životu Jane (Julia Garner), nedavne diplomantice i perspektivne filmske producentice, koja je nedavno pronašla svoj posao iz snova kao mlađa asistentica moćnog mogula zabavne industrije. Njezin je dan sličan danu bilo kojeg drugog pomoćnika – kuhanje kave, mijenjanje papira u kopirki, naručivanje ručka, organiziranje putovanja, zapisivanje telefonskih poruka, uhodavanje novog zaposlenika. No, kako Jane slijedi svoju svakodnevnu rutinu, ona i mi postajemo sve svjesniji zlostavljanja koje podmuklo boji svaki aspekt njezina radnog dana, nagomilavanja degradacija protiv kojih se Jane odlučuje pobuniti, samo kako bi otkrila pravu dubinu sustava u koji je ušla.
