PlotSix months after a devastating outbreak of the Rage Virus wipes out most of the population of Britain, the US Army declares the danger over, and the reconstruction of London begins. Survivors are slowly repatriated under the oversight of the US military, who maintain a strict martial law to ensure the virus is truly eradicated. Among the returnees are Don and his children, Tammy and Andy, who were abroad during the outbreak. The family is reunited in a safe zone, one of the last bastions of civilization in a shattered country, as they attempt to rebuild their lives amidst the ruins.
However, the perceived safety is short-lived. An unforeseen and tragic sequence of events reveals that the virus is not completely extinct, leading to its terrifying resurgence within the supposedly secure confines of the safe zone. This sparks a frantic struggle for survival, as the characters are forced to confront not only the infected but also the moral dilemmas and the breakdown of societal norms in the face of such a relentless threat. The military's extreme measures to contain the situation and the chaotic fight for a haven of safety propel the survivors into a harrowing journey through a landscape where fear and suspicion are rampant, proving that the nightmare is far from over.
