Synopsis for "The Walking Dead"

The story begins with officers Rick Grimes and his partner Shane in a shootout with a escaped convict. Rick plans on flanking the convict but is then shot.

The scene changes to Rick awakening in a hospital bed, due to being put into a coma by the previous shootout. Rick, still weak, dresses in his belongings and finds the hospital empty. As he took an elevator and arrived on his destined floor he surprisingly finds a corpse. Calling for anyone for help, Rick then finds the building's doors to the cafeteria barred. After unlocking the doors, Rick stumble into a room of zombies. Seeing him, the zombies chase after Rick as he stumbles into the emergency stairways and wrestles a zombie in which it is then killed upon having its neck severed. Rick quickly leaves the hospital, seeing signs of violence and finds an very emaciated zombie. Disturbed of what he has seen, Rick takes an unused bicycle and peddles to home.

Upon arriving there he finds his home and neighborhood entirely deserted and ransacked. After searching his home, Rick wanders into his neighbor's lawn and is suddenly hit from the back of his head by a shovel, knocking him out.

Rick later awakes on a couch and is greeted by a man named Morgan who asks Rick to join him with his son, Duane, for dinner. Confused, Rick demands of what happen to him, in which Morgan explains that his son knocked him out, accidentally mistaking him for "those things". Still confused, Rick tells Morgan he wants to know what has happened. Later Rick tells Morgan of everything that has happened to him, and Morgan briefs him of the events after Rick's coma: in the world, the dead, for unexplained reasons, have come to 'life' and start feeding/attacking the living. Before the nation's news media stop broadcasting, Morgan further explained that the American government told its citizens to evacuate to nearby bigger cities to be safe; however, Morgan felt that it is safe to be isolated away from the cities, and have been living in Rick's neighborhood since then. Hearing about the cities, Rick believed that his family are safe in Atlanta and plans to get a car to the city.

Rick and the Jones arrived in Rick's police station.
