You make sure to add plenty of butter as the popcorn pops in the machine. You watch the kernels while Raven uses the buttons to select options. She has to keep looking over her shoulder at the screen to see where the little cursor goes. She gets it to the "Play" option and selects it. The movie begins and she excitedly takes a seat in the very middle of the middle row.

You scoop popcorn into a big bucket as the animal liberation activists break into Cambridge University's medical research lab. A scientist in the lab desperately warns them against releasing the captive chimpanzees, which are infected with a highly contagious "rage-inducing" virus. Ignoring his pleas, the activists release a chimp, which attacks and infects a female activist. She then attacks and infects everyone else present.

"There it is," you say. "Patient zero."

"Shh," Raven says though she giggles.

You bring the popcorn over as the movie skips to 28 days later.

"Title drop," you whisper quickly.

Raven giggles as she playfully swats at you. She's careful not to hit the popcorn bucket, though. She takes a handful as Jim the bike courier wakes up in London's St. Thomas' Hospital. He was in a coma, and has no idea what's going on.

"Oh, this is super buttery," Raven says. "And salty."

"I'll get napkins," you say as you carefully set the popcorn down.

You go back to the popcorn machine and take napkins from the dispenser. You return to your seat as Jim wanders the streets of London. The city is deserted, with signs of catastrophe everywhere. You sit down as Jim encounters some infected humans and is pursued! Survivors Selena and Mark rescue him as you give Raven a few napkins.

"Thank you," she says.

She licks her fingers of the butter and salt, and uses the napkin to wipe her fingers after. You eat popcorn yourself, and also lick the butter and salt off your fingers, then wipe them off on the napkin.

Once Selena and Mark get Jim back to their shelter, the two explain to Jim that while he was in a coma, a virus had spread quickly among the populace, resulting in societal collapse. They claim the virus had been reported in Paris and New York City as well, suggesting the infection has spread worldwide.

The next day, Selena and Mark accompany Jim to his parents' house in Deptford, where he discovers they had committed suicide. That night, the three fend off a pair of infected humans. Mark is bitten, and Selena kills him. She explains to Jim that the virus spreads through blood and saliva and overwhelms its victims in 10 to 20 seconds. After leaving the house, the two see some blinking Christmas lights from Balfron Tower. There, they discover two more survivors: a cab driver named Frank and his daughter Hannah, who allow them to take shelter.

The next day, Frank informs them that their supplies are running low, namely water. Frank plays them a pre-recorded radio broadcast from a military blockade near Manchester, claiming to have "the answer to infection" and promising protection to any survivors that can reach them.

The group board Frank's cab and head to Manchester, bonding with one another during the trip. At the deserted blockade, Frank is infected when a drop of blood falls into his eye. He is killed by arriving soldiers, who take the remaining survivors to a fortified mansion under the command of Major Henry West. West reveals to Jim that his "answer to infection" entails waiting for the infected to starve to death and luring female survivors into sexual slavery to repopulate the world.

"Oh no..." you say with a disgusted grimace.

The group attempts to flee, but Jim is captured and chained next to Sergeant Farrell, a dissenting soldier. Farrell shares with Jim his speculation that the virus has not yet spread beyond Great Britain and that the country is being quarantined.
