Former history professor Lee Everett is on his way to serve a life sentence in prison
when the chatty sheriff suddenly hits a highway-crossing zomb--I mean "walker," causing the car to
spin out of control. When Lee regains consciousness, he discovers corpses are reanimating and boy,
are they hungry.
The origin of the outbreak is unknown, though some theories include biological terrorism,
a government engineered virus, or, wrath of God. Walkers have poor vision, don't talk,
and are relatively weak individually. However, they communicate via pack mentality, outnumber
the living 5000 to 1 and they all admire warm, tasty survivor flesh.
No known vaccine or treatment exists, and scientists are unable to even determine whether
the cause is a virus, bacteria, fungus, parasite, but somewhere between seconds and hours after
death, the brain stem is reanimated along with basic motor function and an impulse to
feed.
Lee gains a second chance at life in the world of the undead, but he must make tough decisions
on invisible timers, protect a little girl, avoid getting bitten, and go head to head
with mankind's worst enemy: jerks.
Have fun!
