Arriving in Raccoon City for his first day of work as a police officer, Leon Scott Kennedy found a community in chaos. Forced to flee from hordes of dead citizens brought back to life by an insidious virus manyfactured by the Umbrella Corporation, Leon worked his way through the tunnels and sewers of the city to safety. He watched in overwhelming sadness as the government handled the outbreak situation in Raccoon City with an overwhelmingly final solution - nuclear annihilation. With the downfall and dissolution of Umbrella, Leon felt slightly relieved and convinced himself, like everyone else, that the horror could never happen again...
That was six years ago.
Determined to protect the people, Leon is now a government agent. Having worked his way up from agency to agency to the top ranks of national security, Leon has now completed the training necessary to join the secret security service of President Graham himself. There's just one hitch. The President's daughter has been kidnapped.

Searching the world for clues to the whereabouts of Ashley Graham and the group that kidnapped her, Leon eventually travels to a tiny European community. The local police scoff at his requests for assistance, but agree to drive him to the village regardless.

Is there a possible link between the events of six years ago and the violent actions of the villagers?

No simple task, considering that there is not a trace of the young woman other than a vague rumour of a sighting near a Spanish village. Armed with his combat knife, a 9mm handgun and a photo of the girl, Leon begins his search. Little does he know that his former nightmares are soon to be replaced by very current ones...
