Plot
History teacher Lee Everett is on his way to jail, having been convicted for killing a state senator that had an affair with his wife. Officer Wilson, the cop transporting him begins a conversation with him sparking up questions about his former wife and about other stuff. Lee can either engage in the conversation or be a bit stubborn to Wilson for not minding his own business. However as Wilson is telling Lee about another criminal he had once transported to jail, he fails to notice a man in the middle of the road causing him to swerve off the road and crash into a roadside forest causing Lee to pass out.

Several hours later, Lee awakens in the car as he looks around he sees Wilson's body on the forest ground several feet from the car, who has left a blood trail from the injury suffered in the car crashed. Lee's leg is in pain, but he is able to use his other leg to break out the window in the backseat and crawl out. As he uses the car to keep himself standing, he begins to approach the officers body looking to help him. He then sees the handcuff keys sticking out of his pocket and he grabs them. After he unlocks the cuffs, he hears Wilson groan, prompting his to ask if he is ok or alive? However at that moment a now zombified Wilson springs up growling at Lee, causing Lee to fall down in shock. Lee backs up as Wilson claws to attack him, with Lee noticing his skin is now a sickly gray and is showing feral behavior, Lee sees Wilson's shotgun next to the car, and he hurriedly rushes to it. He is able to load the gun and tries to stop the guard, however he is forced to shoot and kill the officer in the head to prevent him from attacking.

Lee who is in shock at what just happened, takes not of the Officers off smell and his rotting flesh. He then sees a person standing near the top of the hill, he calls out to them but they rush off. At that same moment a huge group of people exhibiting the same symptoms as Wilson begin to emerge from all directions approaching a horrified Lee who begins to walk slowly in the direction he saw the figure. His leg pain allows the rotting people to get closer to him, however he is able to make it up the hell where he hops over a fence to a suburban backyard. Lee then begins to hear moaning and groaning from the other side of fence as the rotting people begin to bang up against the fence, Lee backs away slowly as the pounding fades away slowly, he then decides to try and enter the house for help finding the back door unlocked, he knocks first before then coming in.

Inside the house is a mess, with stuff all over the place and a fresh pool of blood in the kitchen, Lee then sees a Walkie Talkie near a answering machine which is blinking saying there are 3 unanswered messages. Lee grabs the talkie and clicks on the answering machine to listen to the messages. In the first message, a young woman named Diana is telling a girl presumably her Daughter, Clementine to listen to her babysitter, Sandra and that she and Ed her husband, and Clementine's father would be in the city for another day as someone had attacked Ed and he is the hospital now. In the second message Diana's voice is heard once again this time, more worried and scared sounding, She tells Clementine that several people were attacked in the city and that the city was under quarantine and weren't allowed to leave the city yet, she then tells Sandra to please Clementine back with her to her town as the message ends. In the third message Diana is now weeping, she tells Clementine that she loves her so much and to Call 9-1-1 and tells her she wont be back as the line cuts out.

Then Lee's walkie talk begins to speak as a young girl's voice can be heard. She reveals herself as Clementine and reveals herself as being in the tree house outside. She and Lee have a little chat she informs him to be quiet, In the conversation she tells him she is 8, and Her parents are in Savannah. She informs him they left her with her babysitter Sandra, and was left to take care of her. Lee will then ask if she is safe as he looks out at her from the kitchen window, however at that moment, she screams as a now zombified Sandra appears behind Lee knocking him to the ground resulting in him once again trying to craw away to the sliding doors, however he slips on the pool of blood allowing Sandra to take advantage, Lee is able to kick her off as Clementine appears and opens the sliding glass door armed with a hammer which she hands to Lee who finally finishes Sandra off.

Clementine then asks Lee is he killed the women, to which he reply that something else did. Afterwards, Lee asks Clementine if she had been alone since Sandra (The women that attacked him) had died. She tells him yes and that she really wants her parents to come home now. Lee upset tells her they might not be back for a while and that he will look over her until things return to normal. Lee will then decide its best for them to leave them the neighborhood as it is too dangerous. Lee will then decide rather or not they should leave during Daytime or Night.

Leave Before Nighttime: If Lee leaves before nighttime, he and Clem will exit out the backdoor and out a gate around the side of the house, upon exiting the yard Lee and Clementine will meet Shawn Greene and Chet who are trying to push cars out of the road introducing themselves, with Shawn informing Lee that if they help them out, He will give him and his daughter (Referring to Clementine) a ride to his father's farm so he can look at his leg. Lee will then tell them that she is not her father and that he is either just some guy, her Babysitter, or a family friend. He will also then mention then mention the rotting people and one of his previous encounters, No matter what, Chet will then warn them about oncoming monsters referring to the rotting people. Lee, Clem, and Shawn will then move the last car out of the way as Chet keeps watch. Afterwards they all rush to Shawn's truck and drive off the street as the rotting people fill the street.

Leave During Nighttime: If Lee leaves during nighttime, he and Clem will still encounter Shawn, however this time he is with another person, his friend a police officer name Andre Mitchell and as Lee and Clem exit the house they will be nearly shot by Mitchell however he will apologize after finding both Lee and Clem were not infact the rotting people, The same conversation stuff with then happen, but this time instead of Chet being there to warn of walkers, Shawn and Andre will mention that there other friend Chet was grabbed by a couple of the rotting people earlier, however at that moment a now Zombified Chet appears and begins to approach the group as Andre tells them to get into his car as he draws a gun but cannot bring himself to shoot Chet. The group then flee in his car as more zombies approach with Andre barely avoiding Chet as they drive off the street as the zombies fill the street.
