When it comes to Resident Evil, more Leon and Claire is usually a winning formula for Capcom. Even more compellingly, this seems like an original adventure rather than just retelling one of the games. Netflix has announced a brand new recap for the movie:
In 2006, traces of unauthorized access to classified presidential files were found in the White House network. US federal agent Leon S. Kennedy is one of the group invited to the White House to investigate this incident, but when the lights suddenly go out, Leon and the SWAT team are forced to take down a horde of mysterious zombies. Meanwhile, TerraSave employee Claire Redfield encounters a mysterious image drawn by a youth in a country she has visited, while supporting refugees. Haunted by this drawing, which appears to be the victim of a viral infection, Claire begins her own investigation.
The next morning, Claire visits the White House to request the construction of a wellness facility. There she has a chance reunion with Leon and takes the opportunity to show him the boy’s drawing. Leon seems to realize some kind of connection between the White House zombie outbreak and the strange drawing, but he tells Claire there is no relationship and leaves. Over time, these two zombie outbreaks in distant lands lead to events that shake the nation to its core.
