Volume 01
The story starts with Lance Taylor's group (Maxine, Rachel, Lilly, Carson, Anton, Caitlin and Jake) making a dash from Duck Island Cottage to reach the Cabinet War Rooms. When they get inside, they meet the prepper Brian Edwards and his daughter Mindy, who have been hiding out there. Meanwhile, a group of police officers (Terrence, Randall, Hannah, Paul and Jodie) barricaded inside the Metropolitan Police Station hear gunfire outside. Terrence and Randall head out and see a small military group fighting off walkers, and decide to lend their support. After the walkers have been killed, the small group (Butch, Yaz and Hammy) introduce themselves, Terrence is shocked to see that one of them is Butch Hartigan.

Back at the War Rooms, Brian and Lance bond, and Anton and Caitlin are revealed to be in an incestuous relationship. Lance tells Brian about Jake's stalker-y-ness, and Brian gives him a switchblade, telling him to kill Jake if Maxine or Rachel are in danger. Lilly sends out a radio broadcast in order to try and contact more survivors. At the police station, Butch tells the officers that he's a high-ranking member of a community in the Cotswolds, and offers to let them join on one condition: they help him find Lilly Mason, a girl who Terrence once met during an investigation. Randall is hesitant to believe that Lilly is still alive, but his argument is interrupted by Lilly's radio broadcast.

Terrence's group sets out to unite with the others, and as soon as they reach the doors of the War Rooms, they're ambushed from behind by Danny Hinton, who also heard the broadcast. They're forced to go inside, and Danny uses them as hostages to subdue the Lance's group. Terrence is taunted about Nancy, and Danny pulls his eye out. While Paul is taken away to be questioned, a third group who heard the broadcast arrives, led by a librarian named Keith Vasey. They manage to free the main group by ambushing Danny's, and Terrence ends up murdering Danny in cold blood. Butch offers them a place in the community as thanks, while Terrence runs outside to find Paul. He sees the van containing Paul drive away, chases after it, and then falls to his knees.
