The Langdom Experiment/Season 2

The **second season** of *The Langdom Experiment* was written in late 2020 by EDStudios, and is the second instalment in the franchise. Unlike the first season, which was set entirely within the town of Langdom, the second season takes place eighteen months later in the surrounding region after the Langdom Bioweapon - better known now as dollar rabies - spread across the world, carried on the cotton in United States dollars. It follows the survivors of the first season alongside some new characters, and was released alongside the first season of the companion series, *The Langdom Files*.

## Plot

*Dollar rabies has spread across the United States and oversees. The epicentre, the once quiet town of Langdom, Missouri, has long been abandoned, transformed into an infected nest. The government is in turmoil. Cities up and down the country are shutting down. The infection is spreading beyond the borders. The Turned are becoming ever more aggressive.*

*Society is collapsing.*

*And the world's only hope sits in a rugged, modified RV driving through the backroads of what was the United States. The last survivors of the Langdom Experiment. The ones who doomed the world...and quite possibly the only ones who could save it.*

## Synopsis

### 'Mad World'

Eighteen months following the first season, the Langdom Bioweapon has spread across the world by using the cotton used to make bank notes as a vector; as a result, the world has entered a devastating global economic depression that has prevented humanity from stopping the spread of the Turned, bringing humanity to the brink of collapse, with 40% of the population either dead or infected and that number rising every day. In eastern Nebraska, Adam, Cassie and Abby have made a home out of their RV on a derelict bridge; since escaping Langdom, Adam and Abby have married. After killing several Turned, the three of them are confronted by a group of armed survivors led by a woman named Bonnie. After a brief standoff, Bonnie asks Adam three questions: how many infected have you killed, how many people have you killed, and why? Adam gives his answers, and Bonnie invites the trio to accompany her group to their camp. Adam and Abby argue, but decide that it could be worth checking out. Lucas, one of Bonnie's companions, manages to restart the RV and the group drives to the camp, which is revealed to be a prosperous ranch called Searchlight.

Meanwhile, Lloyd and Charlie wake up from camping in the wilderness; in the last eighteen months they have survived on the road while the world descended into chaos, and are now headed toward a reported safe-zone. They come across an abandoned neighbourhood and take cover from the Turned in a backyard bunker. To their surprise, they find the bunker well-stocked with food, water and weapons and decide to spend the night before the current occupent returns. That night, the two are woken to the bunker doors opening and are confronted by a man in a metal mask, wielding two swords.

### 'Searchlight'

Adam, Cassie and Abby are introduced to Glenn Reid, the owner of Searchlight Ranch, who gives Adam a tour while Abby and Cassie are shown to their beds by Alycia.
