PLOT:
Seventeen-year old Raccoon City High School student Jane and her forty-year old mother Anita go trekking in foggy the Arklay Mountains, though Jane's father, Nick could not come. Jane is tired, but brushes-off suggestions that her job is too exhausting as being from a hangover. Anita switches the subject to the various herbs living in the mountains, noting that they are perennial herbs of the Apiaceae/Umbelliferae family (shared with celery and carrots) and are good for the body. They pick some herbs to use as a salad back home. The wind begins to pick up as rain begins to fall; the two women head back to their car. Jane is scared by sudden lightning, and soon realises that in their carefree trekking she cannot remember where the road is. Anita spies a building in the distance, suggesting the two shelter there until the storm passes.
The two women enter a mansion. While Anita tries drying herself off, Jane looks around. With broken doors and windows, she correctly guesses this was the site of the infamous Mansion Incident she heard about, which took place the previous month. Moving further into the ruined building, Jane steps over glass; seeing evidence of an explosion, she is now certain. Her mother has no idea what Jane is talking about. Walking into the dining hall, Jane notes a big clock and fireplace; Anita meanwhile stays in the entrance hall. Jane explains that the Raccoon City Police Department's S.T.A.R.S special forces unit suffered significant casualties in this very mansion after being attacked by some sort of monster. Anita declares it to be mere gossip, but Jane continues, describing how S.T.A.R.S. found it to house an Umbrella laboratory being used for unusual research, and how surviving members Chris and Jill have mysteriously disappeared. Anita brings up that many people in town are employed by Umbrella in some way, not appreciating the suggestions Jane is making; Nick himself is a delivery driver for Umbrella goods.
A broken window finally comes crashing to the floor in the dining hall, terrifying Jane after her talk of monsters. The storm goes away, lightning replaced by the sound of crickets and distant dog howls. Getting dark fast, Anita suggests heading back immediately. It is now that Jane hears a dog walking around. Nervous, she insists on sticking with her mother. The two women begin running for the road, prompting the dog to leap through the broken window. The dog makes its way to Anita, who orders Jane to leave her and run for the car; another three dogs jump through the window to see she doesn't escape. Jane takes off as fast as she can. Jane grows tired from running after some time, but falls down a slope just before a Cerberus can catch her. She desperately calls out for her mother; Anita screams in the distance, soon covered by howling.
One month later, Jane and her classmate Jim meet at a restaurant. While eating burgers and coffee, it is revealed that when the police arrived on the scene, all they could find was Anita's jacket, leading to the conclusion she was attacked by jackals. Jim is confused by the recent animal attack, since the police has clearly done nothing after the S.T.A.R.S. survivors reported their findings after the Mansion Incident.
Jim drives Jane back to her house. She enters the building to find her father Nick asleep on the sofa while a quiz show is airing on the television; he has become an alcoholic while dealing with the loss of his wife. Jane turns off the television, noticing empty liquor bottles rolling on the floor. Caring for him, Jane wakes her father up and urges him to go upstairs to bed, and shoulders him when he has trouble standing up. At nine o'clock, Jane finishes doing the dishes; hearing a noise at the kitchen door, she asks if anyone is outside. An angry dog interrupts the wind and barks at her; still shaken from the previous month, she screams. Hearing a dog whistle, she finds it is Samson, her neighbour Norman's shepherd. Norman runs over to collect his dog, who had run off. He warns Jane that something strange is going on in the area and Samson is frightened. He warns Jane to make sure she locks the door when going to bed.
