Movie Plot:Set decades after the original outbreak, and continuing from 28 Years Later, young Spike is drawn into a bizarre post-apocalyptic world ruled in part by the violent cult leader Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal, whose followers force Spike into deadly rituals. Meanwhile Dr. Ian Kelson works on a massive ossuary called the Bone Temple and forms a strange bond with a formerly feral “Alpha” infected, hinting at a possible breakthrough in understanding the virus — all while human cruelty proves as terrifying as the infected.
