"28 days later…Cycle courier Jim (Cillian Murphy) awoke from a coma in the deserted intensive care unit of a London hospital. Mystified, he wanders the wards and corridors in search of others and eventually heads into the city streets, calling out for help. As the shadows lengthen Jim seeks shelter in a church only to find dead bodies piled in heaps on the chapel floor. A sudden noise alerts him to the presence of a priest but his lightening speed, blood stained eyes and murderous screams send Jim reeling into the street. More infected are attracted by the noise and Jim runs in panic and confusion as a growing flock spirit after him through the dark streets.
