Summary

In a world of the undead, off the coast of Delaware there is an island called Plum Island. There two families are involved in a long feud, the O'Flynn family of Patrick O'Flynn (Kenneth Welsh) and the Muldoon family of the patriarch Seamus Muldoon (Richard Fitzpatrick). The O'Flynns want to eliminate any zombie on the island and the Muldoons want to keep them, waiting for a future cure. Patrick O'Flynn ends up being expelled from the island but later he comes back with a group of soldiers/mercenaries guided by Sarge Crocket (Alan Van Sprang) and a young kid they saved from a group of hunters. As soon as they land, they get into a shootout with two of Muldoon's guys and one of them gets killed. One of the soliders, Tomboy, a girl (Athena Karkanis) gets captured by the Muldoons. In this scene we find Seamus Muldoon having lunch with Tomboy. He tells her who he is and why he is trying to keep the zombies alive. He tells her probably Patrick O'Flynn told her a bunch of lies about him and his family but all he is doing is to follow God's will. He tells her he will try to convince her help him do God's will....
