{{quote|'''DLR Soldier:''' "''We are headed for the green-zone, our area of security and reconstruction, designated as District One. District One is located on the Isle of Dogs. Although the Isle of Dogs is completely safe, the surrounding area of London is not.....''" }}
 
As implied by the title, the story of '''''28 Weeks Later''''' -- the sequel to the 2002 horror film ''[[28 Days Later]]''—begins -- begins twenty-eight weeks after the events of the first film, where a literal [[Hate Plague]] ravaged Britain: a U.S.-led NATO force has established a foothold in the Isle of Dogs, where it's started the process of repatriating the countless English citizens left stranded after leaving their country during the Rage virus outbreak. Those who return end up quarantined in "District One" under heavy surveillance by US soldiers; Don Harris (played by [[Robert Carlyle]]), one of the quarantined, became one of the few people trapped in London who managed to survive the outbreak. Haunted by the memory of being forced to abandon his wife during an attack by a horde of infected Rage carriers, Don ends up reunited with his two children, Tammy and Andy, when they become new residents of District One.
 
Since the Infected starved to death weeks ago and no evidence suggests the plague crossed over into other species, the survivors begin the process of trying to rebuild their former lives while the NATO forces begin an extensive effort to clean up further areas of London to prepare for rehabitation. When Tammy and Andy sneak out of District 1 in order to visit their former home, however, the survivors—andsurvivors -- and the soldiers protecting them—soonthem -- soon discover lingering traces of the Rage virus, which kicks off a frantic fight to keep the plague from spreading once more.

Line 40:
* [[Idiot Ball]]: Quite apart from the above example, if either the Chief Medical Officer or Sgt Doyle had bothered to explain why the children were so important, even to the children, someone might have been more careful and we might just have avoided {{spoiler|the infection of France and the breach of the sea border which was holding back the infection.}}
** The lack of the most basic security measures in District One. No effective barrier on bridges and few guards. It's about as easy as sneaking out of high school campus during lunch break.
*** Easier, actually—haveactually -- have you seen the security in American schools these days?
** On the children's part, they decided to {{spoiler|sneak out of District One even after the military told them explicitly not to do so and why.}} As poor as the security is on the military's part, they may not have been expecting someone to do something as stupid as what Tammy and Andy did.
** Don holds the biggest one of all. {{spoiler|He pretty much single-handedly caused the second outbreak.}}
