Film summary:
In 2014 a global outbreak of a seemingly unstoppable, viral pandemic sweeps across humanity. Converting people into monsters, known as zombies, with the tendencies of a cannibal and a craving for human flesh. Those infected with this virus cannot come back to life and remain in a reanimated state. 

Four weeks after the outbreak, a lone survivor, Rudy wakes up alone oblivious as to what has been arising whilst he has been in a coma. The audience get insight into what has been happening during this time as flashbacks are shown of regular visits from Rudy's brother, Seth. 

Rudy is isolated in a world full of the undead. Determined to find his brother, Rudy stumbles through the hospital to find the exit and comes to a close encounter with a zombie and manages to kill it, when exiting the hospital he is saved by a army survivor group. Knowing the group is his only chance of survival, he joins the group who agree to assist him to locate Seth. On their journey, the group come across many zombies on their journey to safety. The army group who Rudy is travelling with are trying to head to London, England, to try find a cure for the virus which has effected majority of the earth. 

Throughout the film, there will be flashbacks of Rudy's life before the apocalypse to give the audience insight to why Rudy was in a coma and what if life was like. The film revolves around Rudy trying to find Seth and any friends he can contact to join his group. Rudy ends up travelling to London with the Army group where they find out that there is not a cure for the virus which has been found yet. However, Rudy does find Seth in the end of the film. The film ends with a cliff hanger, in which the audience see an extremely large amount of zombies coming for Rudy and his group while they have low supplies, to possibly connote a sequel.
