In 2004, the Umbrella Corporation's secretive activities within Raccoon City have become a public affair. Following an investigation conducted by the US government, several Umbrella officials are implicated and prosecuted. The government indefinitely suspends Umbrella's business, causing the company to become bankrupt.
Later that year the US Secret Service sent several S.TA.R.S along with some Goverment Agents to go inside northern Spain and rescue Ashley Graham, the President's daughter, who has been kidnapped by a mysterious cult by any means necessary.
