A highly dysfunctional blended family is forced together when they realize a reported virus is actually the onset of the undead apocalypse.
Drug addict Nicholas "Nick" Clark awakes in an abandoned church, where he has been sleeping after getting high on drugs. Nick searches for his girlfriend Gloria in the church, which seems abandoned. Ahead, he hears a man scream. Unnerved by blood splattered on walls, Nick finds a deceased man with his neck ripped open. Nick then finds Gloria, who is biting into the face of a deceased man. As Nick calls out to Gloria, she turns around, and proceeds to chase Nick. Nick escapes the church, and runs out onto the road, where he is promptly hit by a car. As bystanders rush to attend to Nick, the camera pans to reveal Los Angeles, bustling with everyday activity in a pre-apocalyptic world.
Madison Clark is preparing to get ready for work, while her daughter, Alicia takes her time in the bathroom. Madison’s fiancé, Travis Manawa answers the phone, and informs Madison that it was the hospital and that Nick has been hit by a car.
Madison, Travis and Alicia arrive at the hospital to see Nick. A man is wheeled up in a bed in the section next to Nick. The officers ask Nick why he was running, and says that when he was found, Nick was raving about seeing blood and viscera in the church. Madison enters the room and tells the officers to leave, and they comply.
Travis gets a phone call from his ex-wife, Liza, who asks him if he's okay to take his son Chris on the weekend, despite Chris not wanting to be with Travis on the weekend. Travis goes back inside and meets Madison. She says she has to find a rehabilitation facility where Nick isn't known, and that she has college counselling today. Travis says to leave Nick with him and that Madison should go.
In the car with Alicia, Madison assures her that Nick will be okay. They arrive at the school and Madison is greeted by the principal, Art Costa, who informs her that a lot of students are off due to the new illness going around. A student, Tobias, enters through the doors and triggers the metal detectors. Madison checks his pockets and takes him to her office, where he hands over a knife. Madison threatens him with expulsion, but Tobias begs not to be expelled, stating it’s safer in numbers. When Madison asks what the means by that, he explains that the new illness going around is something different, and that those infected are attacking and eating other people, and that the illness will spread. Madison disbelieves him, and tells Tobias to stop reading fake news articles on the Internet. She then dismisses him.
At the hospital, Nick awakens from a nightmare, and is seen to by Travis, who decides to ask Nick what really happened at the church. Nick tells Travis about how he saw Gloria eating people in the church, and was chased by her which resulted in him being hit by the car. Travis assumes it was a drug-induced hallucination, but Nick insists that it was not.
