FIRST STRIKE (2020)

PLOT SUMMARY

Set in Washington State in the year 2020, society copes with the coronavirus pandemic, which has killed millions of people and infected millions more. Disgraced government scientist, Dr. Clayton Decker, creates an experimental cure for the coronavirus, which inadvertently transforms people into ravenous zombies who infect others with their bite.

​

As zombies run rampant in the Seattle area, the outbreak of the new zombievirus complicates the United States government’s efforts of creating and testing the coronavirus cure. Dr. Jennifer Walton is tasked with coming up with a cure for the zombievirus in addition to testing the coronavirus cure.

​

In light of Decker’s testing malfunction, the government is wary of what other consequences the pursuit of a cure may have on the nation. Dr. Walton is instructed to test the cure extensively before it is approved for general use.

​

When a Washington military base containing nuclear weapons — the Strategic Weapons Facility Pacific — is taken over by zombies, Supreme Commander Tony Riker succumbs to the virus and provides the country with an ultimatum that will call the government’s testing policy into question.

​

Desperate to save innocent lives, Garrett Sanderson, the son of Washington State governor Debra Sanderson, recruits his best friends, Kara Lancaster and Quinn Porter, to help him steal the cure from the government and take down Commander Riker and his army of zombie soldiers.

​

While on the run from the cops — and his mom — Garrett and his friends must find a way to stop Riker before his deadline, or millions of Americans will die.
