Plot
Following the disappearance of her father, Lord Richard Croft, Lara Croft makes a living as a bike courier. She is arrested after a collision with a police car. Richard's business partner, Ana Miller, posts her bail and urges Lara to accept her inheritance. Lara believes her father is still alive, but Ana warns Lara that the family estate, Croft Manor, will be sold off if she does not claim her inheritance. Lara reluctantly accepts and gains access to a secret chamber in her father's tomb, where she finds a pre-recorded video message from Richard detailing his research into Himiko, the mythical Queen of Yamatai who was said to command the power over life and death. Richard warns Lara to destroy his research, but she ignores his warnings and investigates further.
