Synopsis - In 2003, a fungal virus sparks a global pandemic and turns its victims into bloodthirsty attackers. Joel flees with his daughter Sarah as the virus starts to spread, but she is killed by a soldier who attacks them, while Joel is saved by his brother Tommy. Twenty years later, the virus has ravaged the world. Joel lives in the Boston quarantine zone managed by the Federal Disaster Response Agency (FEDRA), as a smuggler with his partner Tess. When Tommy fails to contact them from his location in Wyoming, they try to buy a car battery from a local dealer but it is instead sold to the Fireflies, a rebel group that opposes FEDRA. Attempting to retrieve it, they find the deal has gone awry and Marlene, the Fireflies' wounded leader, begs Joel and Tess to take young Ellie to the Massachusetts State House in exchange for supplies. They are caught by a soldier while sneaking out and Ellie stabs him when he tests them for infection. When the soldier tries to shoot her, Joel beats him to death. Tess realizes Ellie is infected, but Ellie promises them that she will not turn. They enter a biological contamination area to flee the pursuing FEDRA soldiers.
