Henry, along with his younger brother Sam, is one of the survivors of an abandoned military QZ in Connecticut. Looking for safety, the pair fleed to Pittsburgh (Kansas City in the show) to look for supplies but were spotted by the hunters and had to go into hiding or risk being killed.
With the hunters now on their tail, Henry and Sam left their hiding spot and went looking for a new place to call home. This is where they both meet Joel and Ellie as they lay sleeping, and as seen at the end of episode 4, they assumed the pair are hunters and drew a gun on them. Without going into spoilers for what happens next, the foursome embarks on a challenging journey together.
