Plot: Raccoon City. What was once the headquarters of the pharmaceutical giant Umbrella Corporation is now reduced to a decaying Midwestern town. The company's exodus has turned the city into a desolate place that harbors something extremely evil beneath the surface.
Awakened to evil, the citizens will undergo a terrible mutation, and a small group of survivors must join forces in order to uncover the truth behind the Umbrella Corporation and try to survive the night.
