Humanity is pushed to the brink of destruction, forcing them to embrace their cruel and primal nature in order to survive. In a world where every minute feels like hours, where there's no such thing as law and order, where finding a small meal is a tremendous task, the walking dead are quite possibly the least threatening thing for the survivors to have on their breaking minds. The dead have risen from their graves and they prey on the living. Rick quickly has to come to terms with the fact that the world has ended and only a select few survived. After learning that his wife and son have fled to Atlanta from a single survivor and his son, Rick goes on a journey to reunite with his family and search for more survivors. Not only has the world ended, but the dead have learned to walk and to kill without mercy. Shaken, starving and confused, Rick escapes the horror of the abandoned hospital only to be met with something far more terrible. Rick Grimes is a strong-willed deputy who missed the end of the world because he was in a coma for a month after getting shot in the line of duty.
