Many of her friends die and Lara herself is suffering due to the survival guilt. Besides, due to the Yamatai incident, Lara was harassed by tabloids and called crazy. This damaged the good name of family even further (it was already shaken by her fathers failures in the research of immortality). During the analysis of her father work Lara found information about the tomb of Divine Source and the mysterious Trinity organization. The same group she encountered in Pripyat. It cannot be a coincidence. Thus, Lara decides to go on another adventure. This time she is going to visit Siberia. Here she is going to find answers to all her questions.
