I decided to cast characters from a series of Zombie Apocalypse books: Surviving the Evacuation by Frank Tayell
The series is set in London from the start of a zombie apocalypse. Batholomew (Bill) Wright is the main character and the first book is a diary of events from his perspective. He is left behind in London because he has a broken leg, and that actually saves his life. Nilda's story starts later. She is a mother of a young teen (Jay) and she ends up separated from her son and is hellbent on finding him, convinced he is still alive.
Kit Harington and Angela Bassett
We learn that the plague first broke out in New York. Bill is passed information from an American secret informant known only as Sholto at first. Eventually we find out that Sholto is actually Bill's half-brother. Tuck was part of the UK armed forces who breaks away from her unit after the rest are happy to carry out orders that involve killing living people. She ends up protecting Nilda's son, Jay.
Mark Chao and Emily Blunt
