Warning: Spoilers
Nick Clark (a 20ish year old young man with a heroin addiction) wakes up in an abandoned church in Los Angeles.

To the local drug addicts, the abandoned religious bldg serves as their shelter & hideout after they've scored their next fix from the dealer on the corner.

Nick reaches out for his girlfriend, Gloria, who nodded off beside him after they both shot up, but she is nowhere to be seen.

After stumbling around the abandoned bldg awhile, Nick hears a loud scream,, and then he finds a dead body. Neither of which are completely uncommon in this place,, but this person didn't o.d., they were killed (as evidenced by gaping wounds found on there body). This sends Nick into a panic (not certain if he's having a bad trip or not). To the point where he frantically searches for Gloria. He quickly finds her, bent over, facing the floor, convulsing. As Nick calls her name, telling her they have to leave, Gloria turns to face him, snarling! Nick falls backward as he sees his girlfriend, eyes bloodshot & dead, mouth dripping with the blood and flesh of the body she was feasting on, lumbering towards him. The Gloria he knew is gone. All that remains is a creature who wants to feed on him.

I remember hearing about The Walking Dead getting a spinoff/companion series, set somewhere else in the world from the Georgia/Virginia area. Being a giant fan of TWD series, I was psyched! After watching this episode when it came out, I knew that AMC had developed something good to pair with the original show.

Madison Clark, her two kids Nick & Alicia, and her boyfriend Travis find themselves in the middle of a zombie virus outbreak in Los Angeles (as if it were not a dangerous place to live already). Learning that the dead are re-animating and feeding on the living, how will they survive?
