　　There’s Madison (Kim Davis), the matriarch of the group, a high school guidance counselor and mother to Alicia (Alycia Debnam-Carey), who attends her high school, and Nick (Frank Dillane), her estranged drug-addicted son. Madison is currently seeing Travis (Cliff Curtis), an English teacher at school and divorced husband of Liza Ortiz (Elizabeth Rodriguez) and father of Christopher (Lorenzo James Henrie). Travis is still trying to be a good father to Chris, but he’s clearly head over heels in love with Madison.

　　我们的主角单亲妈妈Madison(Kim Davis饰)，她是一名高中辅导员，同样也是两个孩子的母亲。这两个孩子分别是女儿Alicia(Alycia Debnam-Carey饰)，她在母亲工作的高中上学，还有因吸毒上瘾而渐行渐远的儿子Nick(Frank Dillane)。Madison近期在与Travis(Cliff Curtis饰)约会，Travis是一名英语老师，他同样是一名单亲爸爸，其前妻是Liza Ortiz(Elizabeth Rodriguez饰)，他的儿子名叫Christopher(Lorenzo James Henrie饰)。Travis一直试图去做一位好父亲，但很显然他对Madison的热爱已让他无暇去顾虑Chris。

　　Madison’s family is forced to come together when Nick reappears, now in the hospital after being hit by a car. From him is born the family’s involvement with the looming worldwide nightmare. Awaking from a doping session in a church-turned-addict’s-home, Nick finds his girlfriend Gloria gone, but he hears noises nearby. He goes to investigate, only to find dead bodies, blood, and not a single living soul… except for Gloria. At least, she’s living as far as Nick knows, but we realize what’s happened to her as she turns to face him, having just finished chowing down on another addict’s face.

　　当得知儿子Nick遭遇车祸被送去医院后，Madison一家便立即赶往医院。然而Nick的出现便是这家人噩梦的开端。在Nick遭遇车祸之前，他与他的「瘾君子朋友们」住在一所废旧的教堂里，然而当他从药性中醒来后，Nick发现自己的女朋友Gloria不见了 ，但是他却在附近听到了某种怪声。他前去调查，只发现地上尸横遍野，附近也没有任何人...除了他的女朋友Gloria。Nick认为她还活着，但我们都知道当她转过脸时会发生什么———她正在啃食一个人的脸。

　　She stands up before him, blocking out the sun from Nick’s view, a knife sticking out of her side, but Nick knows something is wrong even if he doesn’t know what that something is. He flees for his life, only to almost see its end when a car runs into him. A crowd rushes to his rescue as the heart of downtown Los Angeles rests steeped in fog in the distance.

　　Gloria伫立在Nick前方，挡住了阳光，可见一把刀插在了Gloria身上，Nick发现了事情不对劲，但他说不出个所以然。之后他便奋力逃跑，不料却被一辆车撞倒。之后路边的行人们便叫急救车将他送进了医院。

　　Travis and Madison drag Alicia along with them to the hospital, where Madison kicks the cops questioning him out. Nick is initially as tight-lipped with them as he is with the police, deflecting most of their questions. They’re not getting anywhere, but Madison is at least happy to actually know where her son is. Travis decides to stay with him, however, while Madison heads off to school with Alicia (it’s college application day, not that college will matter…).

　　中也套不出什么话便无奈离开。虽然母子两人难得的相见并未拉进两人的距离，但母亲Madison至少知道儿子的安全便也放心了下来。随后Madison因学校事务便急忙带Alicia回到了学校，而Travis则留下来照顾Nick。

　　There, Madison tries to help a bullied student who smuggled a knife into school. He brought it in for protection, of course. He’s heard of the viruses, the outbreaks in multiple states, fulfilling the quintessential doomsaying kid who no adult would believe unless he were biting into their flesh at the same time. She keeps the knife, sends him off, and thinks all is fine with the world.

　　在学校，Madison试图帮助一名饱受欺凌的学生。这位学生在这一天带了把刀来学校，当然刀是用来防身之用。随后Madison询问他带刀的理由，是因为在网上流传，现今在某些地方有某种「病毒爆发」，这种「病毒」会让人变成「吃人狂魔」。然而Madison并不相信，随之便把刀收回并放他走了，认为世界还是照样的美好。
