Season 1
Ashley and her cameraman Alex meet up with Enrique, Cherry, and two guys named Antonio and Horace. Ashley tells them that she and Alex are videotaping the action in order to take it to the TV News Station in an attempt to broadcast it nationwide to give the country a warning. The group is chased by a giant swamp monster, which manages to slaughter Alex on camera.

Ashley and the group meet up with Asher and Jackie at the TV Station, where Ashley's plan doesn't work and her camera is broken. Antonio is attacked by a giant zombie black widow spider but he is accidentally shot in the face and killed by a gunshot blast from Cherry, and Ashley manages to kill the black widow.

Ashley is easily irked by the mentions of Enrique's missing pregnant wife and Jackie's requests to search for her teenaged son Gordon. Horace abandons the group due to Ashley's attitude, which she deems fine with her. Ashley allows Enrique to look in the suburban neighborhood he resides to look for his wife, to no avail. He finds a blood stain on the wall, but is optimistic seeing that there are no remains anywhere for any bodies and that there'd surely be something left of her. They move on, and meet up with motorcyclist Chelsea Powers in the middle of the city, who tells them to take refuge in a nightclub. Following this, a zombie attack occurs while Charles Duncan and his group arrive. Jackie is reunited with her son Gordon, and the two groups converge to form one. Chelsea tells them about her group of people at the mall, and they decide to follow her there.
