AURORA RUSSELL hadn't had news from her family for four days, and she knew more secrets about Raccoon City than any Journalism student ever should.
Without giving it a second thought, and fully aware that she was putting her own life at risk, she sets out for the city where she grew up, not aware that what awaits her is chaos in its purest form. Armed with nothing more than a gun she barely knows how to use, a folder filled with classified documents, and the hope of finding the answers she desperately needs, she heads for the Raccoon City Police Department without realizing that doing so would become her life sentence.
LEON KENNEDY believed his first day as a cop would mark the beginning of a new chapter in his life. Fresh out of the police academy with outstanding grades and arriving in a city completely unfamiliar to him, he has only one mission: to serve and protect.
What he never expected upon his arrival was that Raccoon City's fate had already been sealed by a nightmare of the living dead, one that seemed to have no end and no explanation until AURORA RUSSELL reveals the truth to him: it'd all begun in July of that same year, in the Arklay Mountains, where a string of terrifying murders uncovered something way deeper than the city's authorities, including RPD, were willing to admit.
Neither of them could have imagined that what should've been an ordinary day would become a desperate fight to survive, forcing them to face unimaginable horrors alongside someone they'd just met, someone who'd soon become their only chance of making it out alive... and something more.
LEON AND RORY just wanted to save the world.
THEY ended up becoming part of its misery.
