After breaking into a primate research facility, a group of animal
rights activists discover caged chimps chained up before banks of
screens displaying horrifying, violent images. Ignoring the warnings of
the terrified researcher who maintains that the chimps are infected,
they begin to free the animals and are immediately subjected to a bloody
attack from the enraged creatures. Twenty-eight days later, Cycle
courier Jim awakes from a coma in the deserted intensive care unit of a
London hospital. He wanders
out into a church where he finds dead bodies piled in heaps on the
chapel floor. A sudden explosion from a makeshift bomb heralds the
arrival of fellow "survivors" Selina and Mark. They take Jim to safety
and explain to him that this infection is transmitted by blood and
overwhelms the infected victim with a murderous rage within seconds.
Britain has been overrun, and they have no way of knowing if it has
spread worldwide. Their only hope of survival may lie in the hands of a
Manchester group of soldiers, as they claim to have the "answer" to
infection and invite any survivors to join them at their blockade. Faced
with no practical alternative, the group sets out northwards, unaware
that the worst is yet to come.
