He jumps up and tries to stop the young girl as she drags a soiled teddy bear through the rough road. He calls her to stop again. The young girl stops.

The show is based off a comic book series taking place in the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse where Rick and other survivors try to find safe haven from the hordes of “walkers” who savagely devour whatever they seize and infect people with their bite. The plot is focused primarily on the dilemmas the group faces as they struggle to balance their humanity with their survival against the zombies, how they cope with members being killed and deal with other human survivors they encounter in the attempt to rebuild a fallen
