Resident Evil: Vendetta recap
In 2014, BSAA agent Chris Redfield raids a mansion in Mexico to rescue an informant from Glenn Arias, a former government agent turned arms dealer. Arias's family and friends were killed when a drone strike hit his wedding, and he wants revenge on the United States. Chris's team is wiped out, and Arias escapes with his allies Diego and Maria Gomez. Months later, the former S.T.A.R.S. member Rebecca Chambers, now a researcher, is studying a new strain of virus that can lie dormant until triggered, and that makes victims obey their masters. Arias's people attack her lab, and Chris saves her. They recruit Leon S. Kennedy, depressed after killing an infected SWAT team, and learn that Arias plans to release the virus in New York City. Rebecca is kidnapped and infected with a strain the vaccine cannot cure.
