Bryan, a medical courier, is in the middle of a tense phone call with his pregnant girlfriend, Michelle, when he accepts a high-paying delivery to Raccoon City General. On his way there during a heavy snowstorm, he accidentally hits a woman who suddenly steps onto the road, setting off a horrifying chain of events.
The T-Virus outbreak soon takes centre stage. Two Umbrella Corporation employees reveal that Bryan’s package contains a substance crucial to creating a cure. However, both are eventually killed, leaving Bryan caught in the middle of the chaos. But does Bryan make it out alive?
Well… Bryan doesn’t die… technically… but the T-Virus completely takes over his body. After being bitten by a zombie girl in a dark tunnel, the infection spreads, causing his arm to mutate before his entire body transforms.
Bryan eventually becomes a massive creature resembling William Birkin’s mutated form from the games. His tentacles attack the scientists, while the syringe containing the cure is seemingly destroyed.
