Ex-con Will Galveston encounters the infected for the first time as he's finishing a robbery. Newly promoted police sergeant Alexis Cooper is finishing her morning routine when her station is overrun. Two polar opposites are thrown together in the first episode of Will of the Dead. Episode 1 is a roughly 50 page novella, the first of twenty-five planned episodes, following Will and Alexis' struggle to survive and to redefine who they are after the zombie apocalypse.
