[edit] Bio

Andy, with his sister, was sent to Spain on a school trip when the original outbreak occurred in Britain. They were later relocated to a refugee camp where they stayed until allowed to leave. 28 Days later, after the US Troops move in to sanitize and repopulate Britain, Tammy and Andy are sent to District 1 on the Isle of Dogs. There, they meet Major Ross who takes notice of his unique eye color, Andy explains he inherited it from his mother.

The two continue to District 1 via train where they reunite with their father, Don. Andy inquires about what happened to their mother and Don tells them that he saw her being bitten when they were trying to escape, that there was nothing he could to do save her. Later, Andy has a nightmare about his mother (watching her pull the skin from her face) and confesses to Tammy that he fears that he will forget Alice's face, despite Tammy assurances that he wouldn't. Tammy devises a plan to get them outside of the safe zone and to their house; Andy is hesitant but follows his sister.

They travel the rest of the way across the Tower Bridge on a motorcycle until they reach their house. Almost immediately, Tammy acquires a picture of Alice with Andy, but they remain to gather other personal effects. Andy plays outside on the trampoline, calling for his sister. When she doesn't respond, he ventures into the house thinking Tammy is playing games with him. Instead of his sister, he find his mother hiding a room. Relieved to find her alive, Andy embraces her, but she starts to hurt him and he flees from her embrace, frightened. The military arrives and detains the two siblings, separating them from their mother who is sent to decontamination. Angry at their father for lying to them, they demand the truth and want to see their mother.


Andy and Tammy are still inside the detainment room when Code Red is executed, they are caught off guard by the arrival of an infected soldier who is silenced by Major Ross. She pulls them out of the cell and tries to get them out of the building as "top priority" figures; Andy gets separated from Scarlett and Tammy by the panicked crowd and locked inside the safe room. He waits to be released along with the rest of the populace, when the infected Don breaks inside.

Andy retreats through the crowd while Don infects them, and crawls up into a ventilation shaft. He finds his way outside admist the chaos of civilians and infected being killed by the snipers. He is nearly attacked by an infected who is gunned down by Sergeant Doyle, giving Andy time to escape into the warehouse. He reunites with Tammy, informing her that their father has become one of the infected. Along with his sister, they follow Sergeant Doyle who intends to get them out of the city. Andy runs out into the open to draw the fire of a nervous sniper, giving Doyle the chance to kill him; on the other side of the street, Andy catches a glimpse of his father watching him before Doyle steps into his line of sight. The group then travels to Regent's Park; He wonders aloud if their mother is still alive, to which Tammy responds in the negative.

Andy's eye growing bloodshot.

The infected arrive at the park, and Flynn kills them with his chopper blades, allowing Andy and others to escape into the city. They climb into a abandoned vehicle to avoid the poison gas and the infected, who are killed shortly thereafter by the chemical. Doyle sacrifices himself to get Andy and Tammy out of danger, Ross drives into London Underground to avoid a helicopter attack. Andy becomes separated from the Ross and Tammy when he falls down the escalator stairs, he wanders the underground where he comes across Don. His father infects him and is promptly killed by Tammy. Despite being bitten, Tammy refuses to leave her brother, who runs into the tunnel way of the station -- fearing he will become one of the infected. When he doesn't, Tammy notices one of his eyes becoming bloodshot (a symptom from of Rage Virus). The two head for Wembley Stadium where Flynn takes them in his helicopter across the English Channel. Andy's fate is unknown.
