“In the first timeline, fourteen-year-old sisters Jade and Billie Wesker are relocating to New Raccoon City. A produced, business city that has enforced its rights as an adolescent in full swing.

Secrets that can destroy the world. Cut to the second timeline, well over a decade into the future: there are less than fifteen million people left on earth. And more than six billion monsters – humans and animals infected with the T virus. Jade, now thirty, struggles to survive in this New World, while the secrets from her past – about her sister, her father and herself – continue to haunt her. “
