Overview

After waking from a coma, sheriff’s deputy Rick Grimes discovers the world has collapsed and the dead now roam as hungry walkers. Driven to find his wife and son, he joins a shifting band of survivors struggling for shelter, food, and safety. As they move from one fragile refuge to another, the greatest danger often comes from the living, forcing hard choices and testing loyalty, courage, and humanity.

Synopsis

Sheriff’s deputy Rick Grimes awakens alone in an abandoned hospital to a world transformed by a sudden outbreak. The streets are empty, society has crumbled, and the dead now wander as relentless walkers. Determined to reunite with his wife, Lori, and their son, Carl, Rick travels into the ruins and finds other survivors doing whatever it takes to endure. Together they form a makeshift family, scavenging supplies, seeking secure shelter, and learning new rules for survival. As the group grows and fractures, they face constant threats from walkers, scarce resources, and the emotional toll of loss. But the harshest trials arise when they encounter other people who have built their own communities with strict codes, competing goals, and shaky trust. In this new world, survival depends not only on fighting the dead, but on navigating fear, power, and the cost of staying human.
