The movie starts with a flashback to the initial 28 days. Don (Robert Carlyle) and his wife are holed up in a house, avoiding those infected by the Rage virus. After helping a stranger by allowing him into the house, the infected break in. During the turmoil and death, Don leaves his still alive and not yet infected wife to save his own skin. It's now 28 weeks later and after being taken over by the US army, mainland Britain is deemed safe and is being repopulated. Don’s two children return to live with him. Shortly after their arrival, they leave the safe zone to see their old house. They discover their mother, still alive but a carrier. She’s brought back to the safe zone and is considered a possible cure for Rage. Soon afterwards though she infects Don who does succumb to the virus. He escapes the hospital, starts infecting others and gives the army cause to start killing the infected.

In the country nearby London, Don, his wife Alice and a few survivors live hidden in a farmhouse. When infected people break in the house, Dan panics and does not help his wife to escape, running away and leaving Alice trapped inside the room. Twenty eight weeks after the outbreak that annihilated the population of Great Britain, London is considered safe and the British survivors return under the coordination of the American Army, that keeps the city under permanent surveillance. The teenager Tammy and her young son Andy travel back from Spain to live with their father Don in London. They miss their mother and decide to escape to their old house to retrieve pictures and some other personal belongings. However, they find Alice surprisingly alive and the Army brings her to the base. After some blood test, the biologist Scarlet discovers that Alice is a carrier of the lethal virus and somehow has immunity to it. Meanwhile, Don sneaks through the facility to say how sorry he is to Alice, who forgives him. When he kisses her, he is immediately contaminated, spreading a new epidemic.
